[SQU] Squid takes an hour to restart.

Hello all,

  I'm running Squid 2.2STABLE5 on RH 6.2 and each time I restart either the
computer or squid (squid -k shutdown then ./squid) it takes an hour to start
up. Here's the cache.log entries;

Our DNS server wasn't responding so Squid exited. The DNS server was fixed
at 11:42.
