Hi folk, When Squid does a DNS lookup, where does it save the cached entries? I know you can specify how many entries you want it to save but where does it actually save it on disk?
In fact how does squid do DNS lookups? Squid is listening on port 3128 and a DNS lookup sends a udp packet on port 53. How does squid intercept such a lookup? If I set my browser settings manually (non transparent), and type a non-existing url. I get a message from squid saying it couldn't do a look up. However, when I make squid transparent. I don't see the same page again. I only see a message that says couldn't find page (which is not from squid). So is squid caching DNS entries?? Thanx guys... really want this to work... and help would be greatly appreciated dravya
