Another squid question . . .
Squid 2.3 seems to go into space on me on a regular basis i.e. I'll dial up
and try to connect to a site, get the message in the browser saying
www.whatever.com connected (which it generates when it contacts the proxy)
and then - nada, niente, rien, until I stop and restart squid. Now I know
that 2.3 does DNS lookups itself rather than having a DNS helper and I
suspect it's something to do with this. I normally have an empty
/etc/resolv.conf which gets created when my ppp link comes up but squid
wouldn't start in that scenario - I solved that by putting a dns_nameservers
line in squid.conf. But this business of having to restart squid when I
connect is a bit of a PITA. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing
this, and how I can fix it ?
Regards,
Niall
P.S. I had started squid earlier and I now just connected for the first time
today, but I had no problems connecting to some web sites. Then I shut down
my connection, and reconnected, and it again worked. So it's not as simple
as dying when the connection goes down. I'll try Fergus' suggestion of
switching to 2.4 but if there are any other suggestions . . .
