Thanks Tek for your input. As we use single cache (no peers), I've
bypassed this cache for hi5.com and is now being cached by another cache
(squid2.5S10) at our upstream facility, and it works from there. my
concern is that this error is difficult to reproduce and have not found
any definitive pattern and only solution so far is to use another cache
server that works with the site or bypass the caching totally. It would be
really great if someone could come up with a solid reasoning/solution for
it.

Thanks anyway.
