Hi All, I have 2 proxies where the parent is open to the internet behind the Firewall and another proxy which cannot go direct to the internet. When a user tries to access any web site, first it goes to the child proxy server. Child proxy server will then forward the request to parent proxy (cache_peer). So cache_peer (parent proxy) should be doing DNS lookup for the web site URL. My problem is the child proxy is doing DNS lookup's. I want to reduce load on child proxy. How can I make my parent proxy to do DNS lookups? There is no need for the child proxy to do DNS quesries when a user tries to access some web site on the Internet. Any help would be really appreciated. My config in squid.conf file is cache_peer 172.26.x.x parent 3128 3130 no-query no-digest acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all What happens if I change the above configuration to cache_peer 172.26.x.x parent 3128 3130 no-query proxy-only acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all If I add proxy-only option will child proxy stop doing DNS lookups. Any help would be really appreciated.
