Hello, I'm in a context where I have a lot of Squid installation without direct internet access. All queries are forwarded to an Internet connected peer. Recently, I migrate my old 2.x Squid to 3.x and take responsibility for some other 3.x existing installations. - my Debian based Squid 3.4.8 start doing DNS request for each requested domain - Ubuntu 14.04 based Squid 3.3.8 behave the same - Ubuntu 16.04 based Squid 3.5.12 behave the same The internal DNS setup is completely private with it's own hierarchy an with no Internet link/relation. Internet "like" request are banned on this infrastructure and could raise alarms. On the Ubuntu installations, the problem was worked around with a local nsd daemon responsible to answer "nxdomain" to all requests. All was carefully checked and nothing in my configuration (acl etc ...) explain why Squid insist to do DNS requests for requests forwarded to the peer(s). I was able to reproduce the "bug" with all squid versions up to 3.5.23 with this minimalist config test file: ---------------------------- http_access allow all http_port 3128 cache_peer 10.xx.xx.xx parent 8000 0 default no-query no-digest login=login:password never_direct allow all cache_mem 256 MB maximum_object_size_in_memory 16384 KB cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid3 100000 32 256 maximum_object_size 400 MB access_log stdio:/var/log/squid/access.log squid refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 quick_abort_pct 55 read_ahead_gap 128 KB hosts_file none coredump_dir /var/spool/squid3 #bug #4575 url_rewrite_extras XXX store_id_extras XXX ------------------------------------ Since the switch from 3.5.12 to 3.5.19/23, I am able to use a simpler work around (I switched directly from 3.5.12 to 3.5.19 so I don't know when the behavior changed): Instead of installing a fake local DNS server and using dns_nameservers 127.0.0.1 I could use dns_nameservers none Squid warn about non usable DNS and proceed normally. Before (tested with 3.5.12 and lower) Squid hang. So, I am missing something ? Is it a know problem ? With the work around, things work but I could not logs things based on Internal DNS for the client side, and this is something that was working in the old 2.x versions. Should I open a bug report ?
