Hey, This is indeed the issue I was aiming at.. It was never looked at before since nobody never seen this problem before If I am right. So I have a suggestion. Instead of just shooting at it we have the test "subject" in hands. The latest stable version of squid is 3.3 We can do run a basic test out of the production environment to make sure that we can reproduce the issue. Amos do we have a QA\BUG_TEST section in the bugzilla? This way we can look at a bug and classify it as a testing bug and close the issue with a more detailed report?? Back.. The issue is that the DNS did not responded fast enough to squid. Since it's not a bug that actually has a ground that affect a working(fully functional) network infrastructure I would say it's less of a bug but more of an issue that needs to be tested at 3.1 3.2 3.3 and 3.4 to make sure that it will be a *known bug* to make sure that in a case of a problem there will be an answer.
