True. The directives related to dnsserver need to be removed.

The syntax for cache_dir was also changed slightly, and maybe some other
minor configuration changes.

But as you say, trying to parse the configuration with the new Squid
version will spit out all differences errors. This can be done prior to
installing the new version.

1. Compile the new version, but don't run "make install".

2. Make a copy of your running squid.conf

3. src/squid -f /path/to/copy_of_squid.conf -k parse

4. Fix what it complains on until the above is silent

5. make install

6. install your modified squid.conf

7. restart Squid
