Hi steve, Start caching DNS on proxy server and put ur server's private ip as the primary DNS on client and the things will go.
I think the problem with ur existing configuration is that the private ip which u r using on ur clients , they are not known by ur DNS server. r u avle to ping ur dns server from ur clinet . if u r able to do that than ur configuration will work otherwise it won't. For more detail reason kindly give a rough sketch of ur setup Regards dev On 5/13/05, Steven Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've installed squid version 2.5 release 9 on redhat linux fedora core 3 and > setup a proxy server (with 2 ethernet ports) between my LAN and the > internet. > I've successfully configured Squid so the proxy server runs transparently > and intercepts all http requests from clients on the LAN. > When I enter IP address's (including the IP address for google) in the > client's web browser URL, the pages are served fine, but when I enter a > domain name in the URL, > the browser returns the 'Page Cannot be displayed message'. > > The client machine and proxy (in /etc/resolv.conf) both know our ISP > nameservers IP address and I've configured the proxy server firewall to > allow DNS lookups via UDP on port 53. > > If the client browser is configured to use the proxy server (rather than > have it run transparently), DNS lookups work fine and domain name URL pages > are displayed. > I would however, really like to get DNS lookups working with a transparent > proxy setup. > > I can't see it myself but would this involve changing settings in > squid.conf?.. or perhaps some form of iptables forwarding command for DNS > responses on UDP port 53?
