I had tested host_file directive; it seems it is not working. I checked also /etc/nsswitch.conf file for hosts and it refers to file as well. Any idea why? Do I have to enable any functionality during compilation in order to get it work?

Please advise! Squid-2.5 reads /etc/hosts or another hosts type file of your choice. See the hosts_file directive in squid.conf. Note: the hosts file is only read on startup or reconfigure. -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
