Hi,

We have a proxy chain of 3 squids (v2.7, RHEL5).
In my opinion only the last one needs really to resolve the URLs name in order

send the request directly to the web servers ip address in the Internet.


Sort of, only the proxy going DIRECT *has* to resolve an IP.

For chains which end with the last peer being the origin web service IP there is no DNS resolution at all.

Would it also work if the first two proxies wouldn't resolve?
And how can that be prevented?

* Configure cache_peer using IP address of the peer
* check that no ACL tests requires resolution
* check that extra component like loggign and adaptation doe not require DNS. (avoid logging rDNS of the client or IP of the website for example)

That is all.
