The hotfix which was available for some time reportedly broke NTLM to fix 
Basic.. this was even documented in the KB articles referring to this 
hotfix.

I am not sure what the status is with the current IE6 update pack
available via Windows Update, but I hope they have got that small detail
corrected..

A ngrep of the client traffic tells pretty quickly where the problem is.. 
and in any case, you should not be receiving such error pages if it is a 
DNS issue. On DNS issues you SHOULD receive an error page from Squid.

If you have not already disabled "Show user friendly error messages"  in
the IE internet options then I highly recommends to do so. Microsoft has 
really gone to their extreme in "protecting users from the evil error 
messages given by Internet servers" by replacing all error messages with 
their own "an error occured" error template saying nothing and none 
about the actual cause of the error..
