The whole thread about this webserver being broken is a red herring. The meat of the problem is Squid can surf to this site via the IP address, or the FQDN without the www. Read up on ACLs (http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html), use the debugging options and see what that tells you. I'd have to guess the problem lies with your squid.conf.
