I was getting this error..
using windows port of squid
Seems it was not getting DNS servers properly.
had to set both of them dns_nameservers in squid.conf
then it worked.
the short story with answer is
I did ipconfig /all
it shows 10.0.0.138 as DNS server, and 192.168.0.1 as
my "Gateway" i.e. router. But the same device, like
most NAT routers, it is a DNS server too.
As you can see, my NAT router is slifghtly weird like
that. Speedtouch 546. It seems to have 2 ip addresses.
I can http to 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.138 , and get to
the router interface.
DNS worked, I can browse, and wireshark showed that it
was working. It uses UDP not TCP. And it showed
source dest
DNS query 192.168.0.2 --> 10.0.0.138
DNS response 192.168.0.1 --> 192.168.0.2
as you can see.. the query goes to one DNS ip, the
response comes from the other one. Maybe that is part
of teh reason for a problem.. In that it needed to
know Both DNS server ips.
I reckon squid was only getting 10.0.0.138 as DNS
server and that was not enough.
When I did dns_nameservers 192.168.0.1 10.0.0.138
it worked.
I knew DNS servers were working because I could browse
- when not using the squid peoxy. Now I can browse
with since i fixed it up.
hope this reads ok, i am a little dizzy.
