Thank you for your answer and I hope my answer will arrive on the mailing list because my ISP seems do have some problem with his mail-server ( and I think the will not solve it the next days because its weekend) and I am useing their http mail-Interface in the meanwhile.
> Have you tried the alternatives listed in the Squid FAQ for Linux? No because I thought this would be the right list. If their is no solution at the moment, perhaps some people are going to have the same problem?? this would give me the very necessary background to argue against our sysadmins and to force them to chance the problem on their side (to eliminate IE). In my theory their is a problem in the communication with IE and his own cache and the proxy-cache. I think under some circumstancies the IE stuks in his on cache searching for an objekt. Where I can get information how a browser reacts (or has to react !) to get informed if an object in his own cache is fresh or if the object on the proxy-cache is the newer one? (If I change the cache-settings in IE the connection isn't faster but the problem appears in a different way. So with no own cache same parts of an internet-side appear faster, but some part will newer come and IE thinks he has got all (->no rotating globe), with his own cache enabled IE gets all but he needs a lot of time for that. for example : opera brings the side www.orf.at in 3 seconds, IE needs about 40 to 50 seconds for this side. I have no idea what to do! with best regards leo
