Either that or people have been using a stock squid configuration file 
with a fake user agent to throw people off the scent :

Excerpt from the squid.conf file straight out of the box :

# TAG: fake_user_agent
# If you filter the User-Agent header with 'anonymize_headers' it
# may cause some Web servers to refuse your request. Use this to
# fake one up. For example:
#
# fake_user_agent Nutscrape/1.0 (CP/M; 8-bit)
# (credit to Paul Southworth [deleted email address] for this one!)
#


I know I've used that one myself (plus a variation claiming to be MSIE 
for those sites which refuse to talk to non-MS browsers).

Jim
