The second log line on the last email shows that we are logging the IP, in that case, google. Our resolv.conf points to several DNS servers for our ISP, which all seem to always have an immediate answer when we do an nslookup manually. Is squid caching negative dns queries? Is there a way to flush these? Here is the text I am referring to as the last email. Upgraded squid to 3.1.12 DNS is working from that machine, we are able to resolve both www.carfax.com and carfax.com, and have even restarted squid after looking those up. >From the squid log: TCP_MISS/503 4367 GET http://www.carfax.com/ - DIRECT/www.carfax.com text/html (which takes forever) differs from something like google: TCP_MISS/200 15049 GET http://www.google.com/ - DIRECT/74.125.93.147 text/html Any advice? Our ISP did switch DNS servers recently (we switched at the same time as the squid update) but we aren't seeing this behavior with other sites.
