RE: [squid-users] Problems with getting dns_testnames to pass

Henrik,

You were correct to say about the dns config.

It was acually the config on the client setup. The file /etc/nsswitch.conf
to be exact.

the line
hosts: files

should read

hosts: dns files

Cheers

Andy

Sounds like you haven't really got DNS running properly

Quick tests:

1. Try if telnet can resolve names

   telnet www.squid-cache.org 80

2. Next thing to try is nslookup

   nslookup www.squid-cache.org

Side question: Why have you changed the default DNS check list? Usually
there only is need to do this if you DO NOT have full DNS configured.
