Re: Does squid re-resolve hostnames named in squid.conf?

mikep@comshare.com said:
} One issue that arises out of this is that if a host's IP address
} changes, the address does not drop out of Squid's IP cache -- and thus
} Squid does not attempt another DNS lookup -- until the squid.conf
} "positive_dns_ttl" time expires. This defaults to 360 minutes, or six
} hours. The DNS TTL value is ignored.

There was also a patch produced (for your resolver library), which allowed
squid to see the real DNS TTLs, which may help here.
