This only applies if you have compiled Squid to use dnsserver. The internal DNS client (the default) does not have any such issues. But if you have compiled Squid with --disable-internal-dns to use dnsserver then it is important that you have well more than sufficient number of dnsserver helper processes running or else there will be delays or even automatic restarts of Squid if the delay due to queued requests waiting for a free dnsserver process gets too large. My recommendation is to just use the internal DNS client and forget about the whole issue. > Ok, I'll do that, but everytime I change it I should give a > RECONFIGURE signal in squid?
