You have to make your Squid not depend on any DNS lookups to forward the request to your parent. A squid configured to unconditionally forward all requests to a parent does not depend on DNS lookups (other than for the address of the parent) Note: you probably need to start Squid with the -D option to disable the DNS sanity check on startup. -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
