After playing with all this( proxy, squid and masquerading ) I purge
transparent proxy and all ipfwadm rules relating to it and now it works.
By the way I have the same problem with ifconfig .
It take 5 sec to get it back. I never seen this before, but this happened
to both computers running debian. I did resent upgrade . I think it is a soft
problem.
