Squid access.log Messages

Dear Squid User,

I have my cache configured in Sri Lanka using the squid,

I frequently get TIMEOUT messages such as follows on the access.log

        1.TIMEOUT_DIRECT
        2.TIMEOUT_CLOSEST_PARENT_MISS

I understand from above that squid is
1. Gettig Direct from source
2. Getting from the closest parent

What is the time out and why squid decide to get from the above sources.

I am using 2 parent caches it.cache.nlanr.net, bo.cache.nlanr.net

Can someone help me out in understanding what the above messages are ?
