thanks for the info.. but I am using Mozilla 1.2.1. Does it have the same problem as IE? If it does how does one fix it? I need to have squid cache DNS lookups as a transparent proxy.
any information as to how to do that is appreciated. What options should one modify in the squid.conf? thank you all very much Dravya On Jun 27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I'm not sure where squid stores the DNS cache.
