Hi Amos
Many thanks for your quick reply. The new server is a direct replacement
for the old server and it has exactly the same hostname and IP address. I
have also checked forward and reverse DNS. I can see where you are coming
from though.
One last point, the sites work fine internally, but not externally and I
also have another domain setup and forwarding to a different internal IP and
it does the same. The odd bit about it all is the site will come
eventually - if you have enough patience. As far as I can see there are no
errors in the log files on either server
Kind regards
Gordon

Hi
Been using squid for a long time on FreeBSD 6 STABLE(i386) and have
rebult the box to FreeBSD 7 STABLE (amd64) and everything appeared to
work untill I tried accessing websites externally hosted here.
I am using the same version of squid2.6-stable19 and the same confg files
copies off the old server to the new server.
AFAIK all the dns setting are corrct and everything resolves as it should
(config copied off old server.
You can look to see what happend on a site hosted here -
htttp://www.birminghamcitadel.org.uk/index.htm.
I have also plugged the old server in and everything works as it used
to!! I have also tried the GENERIC kernel to see if that would fix the
issues. All the other services the box hosts work correctly and outbound
websurking is fine. It is just inbound that is very very slow.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Exactly the same config file might be a problem, if the config refers to
local-specific items such as the local hostname and local-IP.
If acceleration was not setup properly for 2.6+ in the first place it may
work with a certain rDNS but not with a similar but not quite identical
one.
Check your config file carefully to see if you can find the issue then
post it here (minus the comments and empty lines) if you still need our
help.
