[squid-users] Problem with parent proxy and no DNS (FATAL: Could not find any nameservers.)

[Jeroen Steenhuis (Dutch Plating Power BV)]

Hello !

I've got a problem running squid, with no DNS servers alvailable. Squid must
send request thru a parent proxy (this is the only way to get information
from the internet).

I searched the internet, but didn't found information to get squid running,
also not in the squid FAQ....  

My Squid.Conf contains :

        http_port 80
        hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?

        acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
        no_cache deny QUERY

        auth_param basic children 5
        auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
        auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

        refresh_pattern ^ftp:           1440    20%     10080
        refresh_pattern ^gopher:        1440    0%      1440
        refresh_pattern .               0       20%     4320

        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        acl manager proto cache_object
        acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
        #acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8
        acl SSL_ports port 443 563
        acl Safe_ports port 80          # http
        acl Safe_ports port 21          # ftp
        acl Safe_ports port 443 563     # https, snews
        acl Safe_ports port 70          # gopher
        acl Safe_ports port 210         # wais
        acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535  # unregistered ports
        acl Safe_ports port 280         # http-mgmt
        acl Safe_ports port 488         # gss-http
        acl Safe_ports port 591         # filemaker
        acl Safe_ports port 777         # multiling http
        acl CONNECT method CONNECT
        acl localnetwork src 192.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

        http_access allow manager localhost
        http_access deny manager
        # Deny requests to unknown ports
        http_access deny !Safe_ports
        # Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports
        http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

        http_access allow localnetwork

        http_access deny all

        http_reply_access allow all

        icp_access allow all

        visible_hostname 192.0.0.11

        prefer_direct off

        never_direct allow all

So, it seems to me it must work, but it doesn't :

What must i do? I'm out of options...

Thank You !
