Re: can squid use dns server on random port(non-53)?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is actually standard practice, it is very easy and common for administrators to configure their firewalls to redirect all 53 tcp/udp requests to a specific host to prevent those people and/or malicious applications which may be smart enough to change their dns server settings in an attempt to bypass a dns based filtering solution.

A solution to your problem would seem obvious to some but, I think that you may consider redirecting all requests to udp/tcp 53 from the host running Squid to your intended destination port using firewall rules.ssentially, you use a firewall to forward requests destined for port 53 to whatever port you want. ( yes  you can do this without forwarding to a specific host )

I hope that helps.
