Re: Squid Starting

Have you checked to be sure that at least one of your dns_testnames will
lookup correctly? A few names that I know to work (and use myself) are:

ns.mci.net
mit.edu
umich.edu
rs.internic.net

dns_testnames works by checking all of the names. If *any* of them work
then you're all set. Don't ever use only one name unless you can be 110%
sure that it will always resolve to an IP.
