This not the case though. e.g. I've just had the following in my
cache.log:

97/11/13 12:38:08| connect: 166.90.104.136:80: (32) Broken pipe.
97/11/13 12:38:08| Retrying connection to www.xoom.com

However, from the cache machine I can connect just fine:

# telnet 166.90.104.136 80
Trying 166.90.104.136...
Connected to 166.90.104.136.
Escape character is '^]'.

The connect call is setting errno to 32, which isn't possible according to
the manual pages? I'm thinking this might be Solaris problem.
