Already tried (see my previous message) with same result. Server is not
closing connection immediately, but wait for few seconds. Same thing happens
when using Web browser (Mozilla 0.9.1) - "Connection timed out" error is
reported. Here is what I've changed in my squid.conf from default values
(I've also defined and utilized couple ACLs, but I guess this is not problem
since access is not denied):

http_port 8080
tcp_outgoing_address 10.0.0.1 # my host address here
always_direct allow local-servers # local-servers is ACL for my local network
cache_mem 16 MB
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/cache 1000 16 256
cache_access_log /var/log/cache/access.log
cache_log /var/log/cache/cache.log
cache_store_log /var/log/cache/store.log
pid_filename /var/run/squid.pid
ftp_user squid@proxy_host.my.domain.com
cache_mgr squid@proxy_host.my.domain.com
cache_effective_user nobody
cache_effective_group nobody
visible_hostname proxy_host.my.domain.com
debug_options ALL,9

Thanks.
