Re: [squid-users] Help with Squid HTTPS proxy

Hi All
I will make use of your suggestions, but this is not just netflix
related, basically whatever site I visit I get this error about
LookupHostIP: Given
Non-IP 'signup.netflix.com': Name or service not known

Of course with the variation of the hostname at hand.

Regards
