 Hello list,

 I've been experiencing a perplexing problem.

 Squid 3.1.12 often times out when trying to access certain sites, most
 notably MSDN. But it's still very fast when accessing other
 non-problematic sites.

 For instance, trying to access the following URL *always* result in
 timeout:

 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302323.aspx

 Trying to get the above URL using wget: No problem.

 msdn.microsoft.com DNS response to  lookup is a successful CNAME, but
 with no IP addresses to connect to.

 The behaviour you describe can appear if you have turned dns_v4_fallback
 OFF. Which disables A lookup (IPv4 connectivity) if there is any kind of
 successful , even a useless empty one like MSDN produces.


 Ah, I see... I'll try it out today.


No joy :-(

I've specified dns_v4_fallback on explicitly (it was not specified
previously) and even replaced the miss_access lines with miss_access
allow all.

Still failing on those problematic pages.

No other bright ideas? :-(

I've even opened up the http_access and miss_access:

http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
#http_access deny !Safe_ports
#http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
#http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost
http_access allow pans_indonet
http_access deny all
miss_access allow pans_indonet
miss_access deny all

... where pans_indonet is the acl containing the whole network of my company.

Any pointers as to what I should check next?

Rgds,

OFF. Which disables A lookup (IPv4 connectivity) if there is any kind of 
successful , even a useless empty one like MSDN produces.



Also, miss_access deny ... prevents Squid fetching new content from 
the Internet. It's unclear why you would want to have miss_access in the 
config at all.
