Hi As the linuxbox access the Win2K box running ADS for getting the user authenticated using squid_ldap_auth, when the machine running DNS goes down linuxbox is not able to reach the Win2K box running ADS I suppose. As soon as the DNS system came back to life authentication is working fine. Anyone can tell me more why this happens?
squid_ldap_auth needs to be able to find the IP address from your ADS server name in order to connect to it..
You can work around this by adding the ADS server to your local /etc/hosts file.
