Re: [squid-users] serious problem with squid.

The process isn't running as a squid process.
If you do ps -aux | grep proxy you should see more.

I would just increase the dns_setting, the errors you see indicate a
waiting time for dns queries and increasing the amount of dns-children
(dns-queries) would solve that.

Is says that the option is only available if Squid is rebuilt with the

--disable-internal-dns option.
I use a precompiled package from debian and it seems that this option
is enable.
DNS lookups are done by the main Squid process by default reading
/etc/resolv.conf file.
My ps aux |grep squid says:

root 10564 0.0 0.0 3856 1156 ? S 08:52 0:00
/usr/sbin/squid -D -sYC
proxy 10567 11.9 10.1 211932 209900 ? S 08:52 35:31 [squid]

and I have no other process related to squid.
