Hello list,
I wish to run the Windows port of Squid 2.6 on an XP system with dial up
access. The name server is supposed to be taken from the registry. This
value is only set after dialing in, i.e. there is no name server defined
when the service starts (cache.log: Warning: Could not find any
nameservers...).
As several ISPs are used, dns_nameservers can't be specified in
squid.conf.; the name server of ISP 1 does not work when dialed in via
ISP 2. The public resolver name servers of the Open Root Server Network
are blocked by the ISPs. The only DNS proxy - Acrylic - I could find
needs a specified name server.
Unless the ISP are playing nasty games with DNS the squid option
dns_nameservers should work. Squid tries all the listed NS and the first
working one or fastest replying one is used.
If you see any other behavior I'd like to know.
Thanks
Amos
