There is three ways: a) "/path/to/sbin/squid -v". if the output includes --disable-internal-dns then you are using the external DNS client.
b) cachemgr. If the cachemgr meny has a "Internal DNS Statistics" entry then the internal DNS client is used.. c) squid.conf.default. If the documentation for dns_program says your Squid needs to be compiled with --disable-internal-dns to use this then your Squid is built using the internal DNS client.. Note: Internal DNS client is the recommended configuration. Regards Henrik On Mon, 29 Mar 2004, Meg F. wrote: > Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I'm not sure.
