More squid and SOCKS firewall questions

        I am trying to set up a squid proxy to run behind a SOCKS firewall.

        YThanks to a helpful list reader I have entered what I beleive to be
        the correct line in squid.conf to get it to use the firewall as the
        "parent cache". This is:

        cache_peer fw.westvaco.com parent 1080 3130

        Is this correct?

        Now I beleive that I have to start squid with runsocks to get it to use
        a SOCKS connection.

        Problem is that this makes squid's DNS lookups fail. The machine that I
        am runing squid on has access to a DNS server (whch is a different
        machine than the firewall) that can resolve outside names. A nslookup
        from this machine to outside addresses will work. But when I start
        squid with runsocks, it can't make a connection to the nameserever,
        beacuse (I think) it's trying to use SOCKS there also.

        I tried putting the following line in squid.conf:

        dns_nameservers 170.85.17.10

        This address is the firewall, not the DNS machine. But it still fails.

        Netscape works just fine. How can I get squid to work?

        BTW in looking at the .usr/local/bin.RunCache script I see squid itself
        is inovked with some flags, but I cna't find a man page for squid to
        tell me what they mean.
