Thanks, but I figured out what the problem was. It was outside squid. A security solution was scanning every request to the proxy and preventing the conexion to be made, so that's why, for the squid, the access was fast, because actually the request o squid was. Anyway, solved. Thanks! Luiz. 2013/10/11 Pavel Kazlenka <pavel.kazlenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Could you check also availability of primary DNS server on proxy node?
