It looks like you don't have enough DNS processes running How much is your dns_children set?
>From the squid.conf: # TAG: dns_children # Note: This option is only available if Squid is rebuilt with the # --disable-internal-dns option # # The number of processes spawn to service DNS name lookups. # For heavily loaded caches on large servers, you should # probably increase this value to at least 10. The maximum # is 32. The default is 5. # # You must have at least one dnsserver process. # #Default: # dns_children 5 If you update that setting, it should do better.

I use squid 2.4STABLE6 with debian linux. I see in my /var/log/syslog a lot of messages like these: Nov 26 13:16:08 proxy1 squid[10567]: idnsCheckQueue: ID 85a6: giving up after 17 tries and 304.3 seconds Nov 26 13:16:19 proxy1 squid[10567]: idnsCheckQueue: ID 85c0: giving up after 17 tries and 303.3 seconds Nov 26 13:16:19 proxy1 squid[10567]: idnsCheckQueue: ID 85c2: giving up after 17 tries and 303.3 seconds Nov 26 13:16:19 proxy1 squid[10567]: idnsCheckQueue: ID 85c4: giving up after 17 tries and 303.1 seconds Nov 26 13:16:29 proxy1 squid[10567]: idnsCheckQueue: ID 85d3: giving up after 17 tries and 302.7 seconds and my clients, about 600, are unable to contact internet. I see that putting positive_dns_ttl to 5 minutes, the default was 6 hours I think, things seems to go better. What about this? I have no problem with dns provider because if I connect directly, without passing through squid, I have no problem at all. Thank you.
