Hi again,
I tried 2 of the ideas you gave me, but none worked well (probably my fault :))
Let me tell you what happened.
I compiled squid with the --disable-internal-dns option. The first thing I
noticed was that it started to ignore the "dns_nameservers" option in
/etc/squid.conf. To fix it I just changed my name server in /etc/resolv.conf to
127.0.0.1. Still, squid only sends requests to hosts 1 to 31, ignoring hosts 32
to 50. I ended this try here.
Using the /etc/hosts file I wasn't able to send requests to many hosts using one
single name. Squid only sends the requests to the first host in the list.
In this test I used the same type of configuration I use in the dns files, to
clarify let me give you an example:
/etc/hosts:
192.168.0.1 cluster.exemple.com <-- Only the first gets the requests
192.168.0.2 cluster.exemple.com
192.168.0.3 cluster.exemple.com
192.168.0.4 cluster.exemple.com
And so on...
Is it what you meant?
Anyway, let me do some ASCII "art" :) to make things clear

- Without "--disable-internal-dns" configure option
If Serv XX represents less than 30 servers, squid works well, else we get an
error
- With "--disable-internal-dns" configure option
If Serv XX represents more than 32 servers, squid ignores 33, 34, 35...
- Without Bind9 server using only /etc/hosts
No matter what I do, squid only redirects the requests to the first hosts in the
hosts file that matches cluster.my_lan)
Am I missing something here?
Thanx again!!
