Hi, I have a problem with SQUID. I configured squid to use a parent cache (it HAS to use the parent cache since the box has no direct internet connection). I have no access to the parent cache. The problem is: Sometimes the parent cache can't resolve hostnames, while the local box running MY squid is still able to (don't as why, I suppose university networks have to be broken :) ). What I want my Squid to do, is resolving hostnames locally and then send the request to the parent cache. I played with never_direct, prefer_direct and the default keyword in the parents cache entry, but to no avail. Funnily from searching the mailing list I found other people seem to have the opposite problem: Their squid tries to query the DNS, which is unwanted. Perhaps we can swap our squid boxes :) Any ideas? MfG Sebastian Schildt
