I had to try it out right away and it works. Brilliant! Excellent! Thank you very much for your work. It's almost unbelievable, not even twelve hours after my help request I receive a tailored binary. In the last months I twice had to contact professional support. In both cases it took them days / a week to respond, one answer with a broken link and after that no reply at all anymore... My appreciation for your work, your help, your documentation and web site, its styling, and everything. Greetings H.L

Re: [squid-users] DNS options for Windows port of Squid 2.6
this may be an overkill and somewhat unrelated to squid, but why not run your own local caching nameserver? this should solve your problems: http://www.simpledns.com/download.aspx pretty painless to setup and run. doesn't require many resources (definitely not with 1 user). you can evaluate it for 14 days, after that a licence is 79$ I am not affiliated with simpledns in any way.

[squid-users] DNS options for Windows port of Squid 2.6
Hello list, I wish to run the Windows port of Squid 2.6 on an XP system with dial up access. The name server is supposed to be taken from the registry. This value is only set after dialing in, i.e. there is no name server defined when the service starts (cache.log: Warning: Could not find any nameservers...). As several ISPs are used, dns_nameservers can't be specified in squid.conf.; the name server of ISP 1 does not work when dialed in via ISP 2. The public resolver name servers of the Open Root Server Network are blocked by the ISPs. The only DNS proxy - Acrylic - I could find needs a specified name server. Reconfiguring the Squid service with the -k option after being dialed in works in principle, but is not allowed from an user's account (OpenSCManager failed). There might be a workaround by setting the SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS flag for The Squid service. This sounds rather dubious; moreover I do not know how to script an internet connection detector to start the reconfiguration. Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.
