[squid-users] unable to forward this request at this time

"unable to forward this request at this time"

Stil we obtain problems connecting to websites (peak times?).
Message of explorer:

  Unable to forward this request at this time.
  This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any
  parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

  The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct
  connections to origin servers, and
  All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

There are following entries cache.log:

2001/05/15 15:12:24| Failed to select source for 'http:...'
2001/05/15 15:12:24| always_direct = -1
2001/05/15 15:12:24| never_direct = 1
2001/05/15 15:12:24| timedout = 0

Environment: SQUID 2.3 Stable 4
              Compq ALPHA Tru64 4.0E

What I did:

1. Changed the value of "peer_connect_timeout" to 60 seconds in
   squid.conf
   ---> no effect

2. Additional DNS server in squid.conf
   ---> no effect

What can we dow now?
