Re: [squid-users] Cache LAN and VLAN webservers

I've tried doing a host command namely "host intranet" and I get a
correct response. I even tried installing lynx on it and broswing my
intranet server and it works. However squid it self cannot seem to cache
these servers.

I read that squid has some sort of dns client of some sort; is there
some configuration wrong there?

I know that my DNS server works since we can access the intranet server
directly without any problems... This only happens when I configure the
proxy. I'm thinking it might be a configuration thing.
