So this is just half of the truth because it is relevant not only for ICP, but for DNS, too , correct ? should "we" fix this in the docs ? (unfortunately, i cannot give much input) btw - any reason why squid doesn`t use host resolver routines for DNS lookup ? (i.e. something like gethostbyname() etc, so this would also get cached by nscd ....) regards Roland __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsstärkeren E-Mail-Postfach!
