I have a problem when connecting to a destination site who are running DNS round robin for its 3 web servers A, B & C. Upon opening the main page for list of reports, whihch required user ID & password for SSL, it prompts for login again when trying to traverse to next page quoting credentials timed-out.
Debug mode showed Squid proxy as our proxy made a DNS request again within seconds (when next page is traversed), which returned with a different IP from DNS round robin.
I knew this is a typical issue highlighted by someone before and the workaround is to use host file, but seemed like no actual resolution to fine tune Squid proxy. Can DNS Name cache in Squid be set to retain resolved DNS name to certain time so it wouldn't have to query DNS again so fast ?
Regards Chisholm
