If your resolver is configured correctly, nslookup/lynx works fine. If your squid is asking another nameserver, this _could_ explain the phenomenon. Check squid.conf:
# TAG: dns_nameservers # Use this if you want to specify a list of DNS name servers # (IP addresses) to use instead of those given in your # /etc/resolv.conf file. # # Example: dns_nameservers 10.0.0.1 192.172.0.4 # #Default: # none
I would use an local DNS with the providers DNS as forwarder.

Hmm, I tried using the IP instead and I *do* get almost immediate responses.... Strange thing is, I use the same DNS numbers for my Powerbook and I don't see this delay in initial response when I'm at home and not going through squid.
Also, I can use lynx from the server (on which squid is running) and there is no delay in accessing any web sites using their fqdn.
Is there some DNS setting I made in my initial setup while on cable that I need to change now that I'm using a different service?
Thanks again, Jim
