Subject: Squid gives 503 Service Unavailable for a known working service

Dear all,
I have encountered a problem with our Squid server, where it does
not seem to proxy a certain connection. The problem appeared on the
19th August. The last configuration change on the squid server was on
the 16th. I rolled back the change, but it did not solve the problem,
although, the change was unrelated. A diff between the current and
previous squid.conf files did not show anything relevant.
The server named t2nl-app301 has this entry in the squid.conf
acl t2nl-app301 src 10.205.8.193/255.255.255.255
http_access allow t2nl-app301
All HTTP requests sent via the squid service successfully proxied except
one.
t2nl-app301 -> Squid service -> Chaos : squid always passes back a
503 Service unavailable.
Summary of tests:
A direct connection (no proxy used) from t2nl-app301 -> Chaos : result
401.
A direct connection (no proxy used) from Squid server -> Chaos :
result 401.
A connection using the proxy, from Squid server -> Chaos: result 503.
A connection using the proxy, from t2nl-app301 -> Chaos : result 503.
A tcpdump of the proxied connection between:
t2nl-app301 -> Squid service -> Chaos connection
shows the conection from t2nl-ap301 to Squid server, but no packets are
sent from Squid server to Chaos.
There is an entry in the access.log that reads:
10.205.8.193 - - [24/Aug/2010:14:38:03 +0200] "GET
http://chaos:5780/invoke/VTEMS.Flows/receive HTTP/1.0" 503 1596
TCP_MISS:NONE
I am at a loss of how to diagnose this problem. Has anyone got any
ideas of where I should look? I do not see how this could be a firewall
problem because one can telnet onto the port from the Squid server and
get a responce.
Regards, JK.
