Using your ISP's DNS might be a better idea since it usually has more cache than your local DNS, unless it (yours) has many users. Lookups should be faster if you use a DNS with low latency from where you are and has good cache. Also, you can check squid's dns cache with cachemgr.cgi, by selecting the "IP Cache Stats and contents" option: -->8-- IP Cache Statistics: IPcache Entries: 911 IPcache Requests: 859300 IPcache Hits: 646920 IPcache Negative Hits: 2407 IPcache Misses: 185953 --8<-- From 860k requests, 650k hits. Not bad at all. A DNS lookup can last up to seconds sometimes. :) []s Ricardo.
