Re: [squid-users] FATAL: Failed to start any dnsservers

Quick queston. Did you have configured as dns servers for checking at start up?
Were these servers accessible to your proxy server?

If not, then the dns server startup may fail.

Also. the cache will refresh properly if the originating site has configured its expirations properly. The cache also gets reloaded (and obsolete pages deleted) if the user hits the reload key.
