I have put the nameservers into squid.conf. However, today I received the same error. Squid times out on the following site https://www.skyplayer.com This is the dig result: [root@# dig skyplayer.sky.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> skyplayer.sky.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 35479 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;skyplayer.sky.com.

The server provides access to 650 campus users over a 1Gb link, with typically 100Req/s throughout the day. Our hope is that OpenDNS will reduce the time spent on ACL maintenance in squid, and allow us to drop some ACLs completely. > > -- > Shawn Wright > I.T.
