Hello all, I am having a problem in using Squid Cache version 2.6.STABLE12 as a reverse-proxy server for my webserver. Webserver is running on 192.168.7.1 and squid is running on 192.168.7.3 (public-ip:67.107.xx.xx). My hosts config. and squid.conf details are below. First problem is when I start the squid I gets the warning about the 'localhost' as a name server, but squid starts okay and start serving the requests. Second problem is over a period of time I gets 'WARNING: Forwarding loop detected for:' entry in cache.log which causes to squid to stop working and I have to restart the squid to make it operational. Can you please tell me what I'm missing here. Thanks for reading such long loglines. Regards, Suhaib. ---- /etc/resolv.conf --- # Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0 search bms.local nameserver localhost ---- squid.conf ---- http_port 80 transparent cache_peer 192.168.7.1 parent 81 0 no-query originserver weight=1 http_access allow all acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 icp_access allow all ---- cache.log ---- part-1 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Starting Squid Cache version 2.6.STABLE12 for i686-pc-linux-gnu... 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Process ID 8975 2007/06/07 10:34:58| With 1024 file descriptors available 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Using epoll for the IO loop 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Performing DNS Tests... 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Successful DNS name lookup tests... 2007/06/07 10:34:58| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 35084, FD 5 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Adding domain bms.local from /etc/resolv.conf 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Adding nameserver localhost from /etc/resolv.conf 2007/06/07 10:34:58| WARNING: rejecting 'localhost' as a name server, because it is not a numeric IP address 2007/06/07 10:34:58| Warning: Could not find any nameservers.
