In the squid conf file, we have the following

What this causes is , it spawns 6 processes for dns look up and shows
up on task maanger as 6 different processes. Users are getting wary
of 6 processes and also they think some kind of hack utility/Trojan
is running. Is there a way ,we can change or modify squid.conf file
to run as threads instead of 6 processes?
Not with current Squid.
You can however use the internal DNS client with Squid 2.6 or later.
This is many orders of magnitude faster than the old obsolete dnsserver
helper.
If your users are that paranoid, they are likely to be itching for a
"Format C:" before much longer.
