Just look at these two queries below, you can see the time difference
between them isn't much but the second query returns nothing!
Are you basing on one domain or you have done enough observations?

By the way, does squid cache name lookups as well?

Squid supports...

  • proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs
  • proxying for SSL
  • cache hierarchies
  • ICP, HTCP, CARP, Cache Digests
  • transparent caching
  • WCCP (Squid v2.3 and above)
  • extensive access controls
  • HTTP server acceleration
  • SNMP
  • caching of DNS lookups   ------------>http://www.squid-cache.org/  I don't know if it's what you mean
  • Ronny

Any ideas why this is so?

Joseph
