Well, whichever route you decide to use, Squid in general is _very_ DNS dependant, so you need to make sure it can access DNS somehow without any delay or timeouts. Everyone's situation may differ, even from site to site (branch office to office) within the same company. Basically, you just need to use BIND's DNS tools to try and figure out where the problems lie, like whether there is a broken DNS server somewhere that you are referencing. >>> <childrenofchaos@xxxxxxxxxx> 4/13/2011 4:40 PM >>> Hey, currently itÂs configured as: forward to ISP DNS and many more free dns server like google (8.8.8.8). Before i setup an own dns (bind) i used only dns proxy: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:53 and the same with the tcp protokoll. (192.168.0.1 = Router with pppoe connect and dynamic dns "push" from isp) than, as the issues occour i setup the bind dns, and now i think the problems occour much more as before. The strange thing is, setup runs for a long time without any problems oO thanks > -----UrsprÃngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Chad Naugle > Gesendet: Mi. 13.04.11 (22:31) > An: childrenofchaos@xxxxxxxxxx > Kopie: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Betreff: RE: Re: Squid 2.7 + SquidGuard + Squidclamav > > Does your "internal" DNS configuration use the root method, or does > it > forward to your ISP's DNS?
