Squid opens IPv4/IPv6 hybrid sockets to receive and send both v4 and v6 traffic in one socket for simplicity and ease of transition. If that fails like in your case it falls back to IPv4-only sockets. I recommend re-enabling IPv6 socket capability in your OS. If you have OpenBSD or MacOSX they do not support these hybrid socket features at all. I'm still working on getting support for their 'split-stack'. So they will work very slightly better for now with IPv6 disabled in Squid. Amos
