Greetings List,
This is a really strange problem, that I can't tell if it's squid or bind
causing it. Here's the summary:
For only ONE address, whenever I attempt to access it through the proxy,
the record disappears from DNS, and the retry time changes too.
Essentially, accessing www.thisdomain.com works, but a link to a portal on
that page to the subdomain login.thisdomain.com causes the problem. Here's
a the output of dig from before accessing the page:
; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> login.thisdomain.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 45037
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0

You can do anything to request the address from bind and it works,
*except* try to access it through squid. Bypassing squid and going
directly through the firewall works fine.
Now, immediately after you try to access it through squid:
; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> login.thisdomain.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 43943
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;login.thisdomain.com. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
thisdomain.com. 298 IN SOA ns1.thisdomain.com.
serv.anotherdomain.com. 2006062510 3600 3600 2592000 300
;; Query time: 0 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)
;; WHEN: Thu Aug 22 12:30:06 2013
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 95
After the 5-minute retry shown above expires, the original record
reappears.
Ideas? Should I be looking at squid, or bind for the issue? Has anyone
seen anything similar before? All other proxy and dns operations work
perfectly, and it's a pretty heavily utilized proxy. I'm stumped.
