hi migz,
here is what happened i think. www.family2003.ph probably changed its ip
address probably due to relocate to another ip address on the same or subnet
the network ip block or its upstream provider change their network ip block
due to transfer to another upstream provider. now, the old ip address of
www.family2003.ph is still on the *ipcache* table of squid which its TTL is
not yet expire (TTL <> 0) until one of your proxy server (the one who
resolves it) reached to expire and query again its nearest dns server to
resolve for the ip address of www.family2003.ph and return the new ip
address. the other two is still using the old ip address due to squid
ipcache entry and that old ip address is replace by a http server for the
purpose of redirecting you to www.family.ph which indicates that the page is
not found (http error 404).
fooler.
