Can you please get a ethereal or tcpdump -s 1600 trace of the poisoning
traffic on the Squid proxy?

tcpdump -s 1600 -w traffic.dump -i any

The trace should include

1. The requests which was identified as causing the cache poisoning

2. One request showing that the cache is poisoned.

Odd..

and there is no difference in network connectivity? Including which DNS
servers are used, ISP etc..
