[squid-users] DNS lookup & rotation of IPs

2008-05-06 Thread Christian Seifert 
Hi there, I am running a DNS cache prg that is resolving hostnames inan 
identical manner even if more than one IPs are returned.

So, for example, ping www.google.com will always try ping to 209.85.173.147 
even though host resolves to multiple IPs (it seems like it takes the top 
record)

host www.google.com
www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com has address 209.85.173.147
www.l.google.com has address 209.85.173.104
www.l.google.com has address 209.85.173.103
www.l.google.com has address 209.85.173.99

Squid,however,seems not to do this. It seems to randomly select one IP evenwhen 
it isusing the DNS cache prg ... is there any way to configure itto alwaysuse 
the top one, just like ping behaves?

Look for "balance_on_multiple_ip off" in squid.conf.
