        Using your ISP's DNS might be a better idea since it usually has
more cache than your local DNS, unless it (yours) has many users. Lookups
should be faster if you use a DNS with low latency from where you are and
has good cache. Also, you can check squid's dns cache with cachemgr.cgi,
by selecting the "IP Cache Stats and contents" option:

-->8--
IP Cache Statistics:
IPcache Entries: 911
IPcache Requests: 859300
IPcache Hits: 646920
IPcache Negative Hits: 2407
IPcache Misses: 185953
--8<--

        From 860k requests, 650k hits. Not bad at all. A DNS lookup can
last up to seconds sometimes. :)
