RE: [squid-users] Squid Stores caches based on ips?

Henrik, thanks alot again.

        But I still have one more problem.

        I'm using squid as httpd accell mode with a redirector. If I
remove the redirector and starts using /etc/hosts or the DNS my squid
stops responding port 80 fast.

        When I try to telnet ip 80 , it takes about 3 seconds to open
the door, sometimes takes longer. If I switch back to the redirector,
everything works fine. What may be happening?

        Notice that I have a considerable traffic on it. (about
3Mbits/s) .

thanks
thiago.

This only applies if you have compiled Squid to use dnsserver. The
internal DNS client (the default) does not have any such issues.

But if you have compiled Squid with --disable-internal-dns to use
dnsserver then it is important that you have well more than sufficient
number of dnsserver helper processes running or else there will be
delays or even automatic restarts of Squid if the delay due to queued
requests waiting for a free dnsserver process gets too large.

My recommendation is to just use the internal DNS client and forget
about the whole issue.

Yes.

Thanks.
