Hi,
In my squid configuration file, I am adding a Fully Qualified Domain Name instead of an IP address for my ICAP server but it is not able to resolve that name initially and the service goes down saying
essential ICAP service is down after an options fetch failure: icap://short.domain.name:4321 [down,!opt]
It remains shut down for 3 minutes and then the icap service is up after that much time. My concern is why there is so much delay in resolving fqdn of an ip.
Plus, adding that IP with FQDN in my /etc/hosts file resolves the name immediately on starting the service. But I dont want to do that since that should not be required thing if know DNS entry for that particular IP works through ping or nslookup or directly accessing that gateway console admin from browser with fqdn.
Thanks
Aashima
