Hallo, Amos, Du meintest am 11.02.12: >> my self made squid 3.2.0.14 sometimes produces messages like >> >> Jan 30 08:56:58 Arktur squid[4263]: Failed to select source for >> 'http:// ivwbox.de/' >> Jan 30 08:56:58 Arktur squid[4263]: always_direct = 0 >> Jan 30 08:56:58 Arktur squid[4263]: never_direct = 0 >> Jan 30 08:56:58 Arktur squid[4263]: timedout = 0 [...] >> Where's the problem? >> Is that message an information, a warning or an error message? > Direct access is permitted, but DNS produced no usable results. Why (as far as you can be clairvoyant)? It doesn't happen always, it only happens sometimes. That makes testing difficult - I don't dare to run the new squid version on a "productive" system, and the last time I've seen this message on my local system is some weeks ago. As I've told some days ago both machines where I've seen these messages run "dnsmasq" as DNS, not ISC-bind. Restarting squid helps for some time, but maybe the real problem would have disappeared by only waiting some time too ... Viele Gruesse! Helmut
