It would seem strabge for the IP address of the source server to change everyday as DNS addresses take a while to update and the source server company wouldn't want their site down for more than a few seconds. I have the host nameservers set in /etc/resolv.conf as: nameserver 213.171.xxx.xxx nameserver 213.171.xxx.xxx search localdomain squid must use those as I have not set any nameserver= in the squid.conf Should I put those into the squid.conf directly or perhaps even the opendns IP addresses? ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 23:19:36 +0100 > From: jc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: webster_jack@xxxxxxxxxxx > CC: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: dns problem > > J.
