 And the particular wrong messages which you are seeing?


From this I would guess your browser displays unable to connect, or a
 timeout message of its own. Yes?

Yes this that.. none of squid error templates are seen, just the error
browser itself.


Then I think the problem is the absence of a 'bypass' iptables rule Squid outgoing packets to service the request can looped back at Squid. The browser sees this as no response timeout after sending the request. Squid sees it as the server never responding.

You solve this one by configuring iptables to bypass the Squid IP on NAT rules (as mentioned in the wiki link). You ensure "via on" is configured (the default setting), to get Squid to detect these looping back and produce an error instead of hanging.



(I've done a general checkup and made some comments below, though only
 the iptables bits seem related to any errors).

 There are a few other rules needed for REDIRECT to work and safely:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxRedirect

You are right !, i have seen that in 3.1x or 3.2x it should be changed
to "intercept" instead "transparent".
I will check before iptables and this new configuration and come back to
you...

When you say " On Linux you can gain a fair bit of speed with altering
that to AUFS"
I think changing to diskd
Is diskd should obtain better performances than AUFS ??

On Linux AUFS is faster. diskd is in between UFS (slowest) and AUFS (fastest). There is a bug which makes AUFS as slow as UFS on BSD based systems. Which is where the diskd being fastest perception is apparently coming from.



connect_timeout 1600 seconds
In 3.1 this is the time for DNS lookup + TCP SYN-ACK to the found IPs.
Are you sure you want to make it a half hour?
Ok but for you, is it better to increase or decrease this value ?


IMO lower.

The users notoriously don't like waiting more than a few seconds for things to load. With a minute or two on the more patient users. So any increase above that needs to be considered in light of the connectivity speed and desired response times (accepting that an error is a response). The Squid defaults are set at 1 minute here to be responsive at the outer bound of user patience.

Hmm, just noticed '--with-maxfd=32000' '--with-maxfd=16384' '--with-filedescriptors=16384' might be worth fixing. These three settings all change the same config value.
