Hi Amos, I intend to use Squid for a satellite based communication network. A child squid on one end will talk to the parent squid on the other end. My understanding was that for every http request that does not have IP but names instead, the child squid will do a dns lookup if it is a miss in its cache before sending it to the parent. As the dns lookup will be expensive, and will cause considerable delay (plus inherent delay due to satellite networks), I had planned to accumulate some of the DNS look ups from the parent over time and push it over to the child in the background. This way the child squid will not have to do a dns lookup but it will be present in its ipcache itself. But when I tried it out in a small setup, it looked to me that the child squid does not seem to do any lookups for the requested URL (it does only for the PARENT) if the object is not found in its cache. Instead it simply forwards it to the parent and the parent squid does the look up. Can you please confirm on this if my understanding is correct? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/DNS-Squid-tree-with-parent-child-tp4573394p4573819.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
