Re: Squid on Alpha - DNS problems.

This problem could occur if:
 
     1) you have a firewall which prevents DNS access outside your
            firewall, and you did not configure a firewall proxy server
     2) you configured for a firewall server which isn't there (less
             likely I think)

Do local accesses without the proxy work?
Do local accesses through the proxy work? (empty no proxy
configuration)

If both do, then it sounds like you have a problem with the firewall.
