Hi,
I am in the market for a reverse proxy that does intelligent load
balancing for DNS. I've used Squid for proxy before but have not been
able to find any info on using it for DNS reverse proxy (or UDP, more
generally) -- I've searched the website and list archives but wasn't
able to find anything about this
Well, because this cannot work. Proxies are essentially protocol parsers
with a cache. Squid is a HTTP(S) proxy which knows nothing about the DNS
protocol.
Moreover, it knows nothing about UDP as transport. There are dedicated
DNS proxies and general DNS software with proxy capabilities but this is
out of the scope of this mailing list.
Hope this helps,
Jakob
