[squid-users] cache/PURGE problem !

hi all,

i am facing a problem which seems is with squid!.. all our office pc is using
squid(in transparent mode) !
when i tried to access site -->http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov i got the 403
acess forbidden ( not from squid but seems from site --i guess !).. at the
same time when i try to acess the same site without squid(pc direct to router
) i CAN open it !.. furthermore using cobalt cacheraq one can open the said
site !..
i thought to PURGE the site from cache--thinking it might be in cache. i gave
the following command-->client -m PURGE http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov & got
the folowing error--->HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden

to my HORROR when i tried to purge yahoo or google site i got the same
message !... i also tried --> client -r http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov the
result was same---site forbidden ..whereas client -r http://www.yahoo.com
did RECACHED the site !...

i need to know whats hapenning with my squid serrver ! and importantly---why
the perticular SITE is showing ---access denied ??????

awaiting a reply

regards
A.H
