Perhaps you have weird proxy settings. 503 usually signifies a temporary outage and has more possible causes than you can poke a stick at.

If it's just your machine that's failing, then maybe something is misconfigured in your browser, or your browser is the only one pointing to a misconfigured proxy. The squid warnings are a tell-tale. Are you running the browser on the same box as the proxy? That often causes problems due to squid's default ACLs.

It's hard to tell from the message what the reason is. It could be that you are behind a proxy that is unable to connect to your web site (in that case, you may see the name of a proxy application somewhere on the page); or it could be that your web site somehow can't be served to you, for whatever reason.

If it really is a server error and not a Proxy error, you would have to consult your server's error log files to find out the reason for the problem. You will usually find a detailed explanation of the problem there.

If you're on shared hosting, and the problem is definitely with the site, this is a case for your provider's technical support staff.

If this is a site hosted in IIS, you should check the Windows Application event log. You'll find details why your web app is crashing.

Are the other machines on the same LAN or are they coming in from the internet

X-Squid-Error ERR_DNS_FAIL 0

That implies that there is a DNS faliure on the part of squid. what address are you using?

Reading this im a little confused as to your setup, is the squid server yours? is it running as a forward or reverse server? Is the squid box on the same LAN as your Computer?

I had the same (in tortoisesvn), and it was definitely after I setup the proxy to access a repos. on the web, and forgot to add exceptions for internal websites:

Add exceptions for in House servers !
