Receiving SYN Timeout on certain secure websites

Level 5

A client I do work for reached out to me today with an odd issue.  There are a handful of secure websites they cannot reach from one location.  I checked the ASA logs and 30 seconds after the initial packet, the ASA receives a SYN timeout packet.  The ACK packet doesn't show up late, so that isn't the issue. I ran a packet capture between my laptop and one of the websites and this is the result:

 

42 packets captured

42 packets shown

As shown above, I don't see any packets coming back from the server.  There is only one site this doesn't work for, so I am stumped.  Part of me is wondering if there is a nat issue, but if it was that, I would think the entire site would have issues accessing the internet.  One other part to note.  The ASA is doing a WCCP redirect to an Ironport.  I did a policy trace on the Ironport and it says the site is allowed.  

 

TIA for any ideas.

Another capture going to a different site that cannot be reached:

I did set up the ASA to not send requests to the Ironport for two of the sites.  The captures I have posted are from those two sites.
