Its okay to do that for something like a personal relay. But the blocking-lookup helper does not scale to any sort of reasonable production use. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Dnsserver You really should fix the DNS problem that squid was encountering. It is likely to be screwing up other software in your network as well. PS. you have yet to publish the error page squid is displaying so we can see what the problem is when it appears during regular use. Amos > Amos Jeffries wrote: >> Wilson Hernandez - f, S.
