Re: Squid as a simple cache

Well, I configured Squid with my firewall as "parent" and the "default"
option.
When I try to access a page on the Internet, it works, but only one time. The
second page I try to access I get this message :

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.tomshardware.com/
The following error was encountered:
     Unable to Retrieve
The system returned:
    No neighbors or parents were queried and the host is beyond your
firewall.
The cache administrator may need to double-check the cache configuration.
This means that:
    The requested URL can not currently be retrieved.

How can I adress this problem ?
Thanks,
Guillaume
