my dhcp server assigns both ip addresses and dns servers to clinets.
I have set my Ubuntu box 'Base' up as a DNS Server and tried to use
squid with partial results. Firefox returns the following:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.cricinfo.com/
The following error was encountered:
* Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any
parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:
* The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct
connections to origin servers, and
* All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.
Your cache administrator is webmaster.

These requests are hitting squid but squid is configured to deny direct
access outbound (never_direct is 1). Probably without any peers
configured to handle non-direct access.
However, I can no longer ssh into Base as the name won't reconcile, I
now must access 192.168.60.254 (eth1) or 192.168.10.23 (eth0)
Hmm, windows (or the source box you are ssh'ing from cannot locate the
FQDN of Base or a local domain to generate a FQDN from for DNS).
I think it should be as simple as taking the space out of your config
setting string:
option domain-name " domain.org";
I would expect the above to be attempting a DNS lookup of exactly "Base.
domain.org" and failing.
I feel I am getting close, but need to find out why 'Base' is no
longer working (you will notice that the prompt is 'root@Base'.
Can you offer any suggestions?

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1.
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
