I've been using Red Hat's default configuration (with my own
modifications to squid.conf obviously), which is build *without*
--enable-icmp. (In fact, it's commented out of the RPM's SPEC
file.)

Since I couldn't figure out if I want --enable-icmp or not, I built
squid again *with* it, and that's what I'm running now. I can't
tell if that helps, though, because I'm still locked out of the sites
(amazon etc.).

What does "--enable-icmp" do, and should I or shouldn't I use it?
