Thanks Pieter for the reply.

I am not sure what you mean by DNS in its logging. I am assuming you
mean that in the logs hostnames as opposed to IP addresses are logged.
If so, that is not the case, only IP addresses are logged in the Squid
logs. I realize you are probably are also referring to reverse DNS for
the user but just in case you mean reverse DNS for the server, I do
have reverse DNS setup for the server IP's.

I will have to ask to see if big downloads speed up for the user.

Any other help is appreciated.
