Jeff, thank you for your kind support.
The technical description of my setup follows, after comments on your reply.
If I get your config change correct, you bypass the squid proxying by using
kb.4d.com as a peer cache, right? Why do you do this? Were you able to
verify my problem if you run your squid WITHOUT your additional lines?
Passing SSL Traffic through squid worked seamlessly the last few years, so I
did not take a close look on the documentation on that. I will do so, soon.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
======================
First, I have tested two diffrent Squid versions on my debian based proxy:
2.7STABLE3 and Version 3.0.STABLE8:

The setup is:
LAN -----> Squid ----> DSL Router ----> Internet
The Squid setup is:

There seems to be no magic....
There is one strange thing in my cache.log file when I enter
http://kb.4d.com:

2009/05/04 07:19:22| ctx: enter level 0:
