Failed Redirect

Hi!

We have noticed that for some sites, one namely www.microsoft.com we are
getting a Failed Redirect message
on the client web browser. The syptom is the status bar on the browser
seems to be fibrillating. ie. cannot seem
to make up its mind which destination is correct, the proxy or the
destination.

This is an exerpt out of access.log. As you can see one request is
looking for :
http://www.microsoft.com/default.asp

and the other is looking for:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie40.asp

As I have been writing it has come right but this has been happening to
many people.

Is this something to do with the parent or my setup?
I have looked at an access log of a sibbling whilst they have been
accessing www.,microsoft.com with much the same.

Thanks

Grahame
