The server is setup correctly with the three DNS server options. One local and two remote servers are listed. As soon as I turned off the proxy, the machine didn't have any problems. Now, we can't get it to break again.
Any other ideas? I still have the question "does it know the difference between timeout and unknown IP or bad IP (IP address incorrectly assigned)." -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Haas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 1:02 PM To: Squid-Users (E-mail) Subject: Re: [squid-users] DNS Question On Thu, Jun 05, 2003 at 12:48:00PM -0500, Jim Shaffer wrote: > Using Squid 2.4.Stable7 as a Proxy and filter > I get this error in my browser (IE 6.1) > > The requested URL could not be retrieved > > While trying to retrieve the URL: > > <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-020.asp> > > The following error was encountered: > > Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.microsoft.com > > The dnsserver returned: > > No Address records > Does Squid recognize the difference between a DNS timeout error vs a bad or > unknown IP address?
