I apologize -- should read more carefully.
As for now, we can say that this problem is still in stable2.
And not related to hardware variant (I see it on my 486/66 (yes!) router).
So machine speed is not relevant here -- fast dual pentium and slow 486
are the same... And OS version does not matter -- Red Hat 6.1 (mine too),
and something wrong on Solaris, as reported at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.3/bugs/#squid-2.3.stable2-internal_dns_problems
(error message is not the same, but sometimes I got that message too).
As I also said, try to recompile it with --disable-internal-dns.
This is not a complete solution, but a workaround -- there are some
changes in dnsservers introduced in 2.3 -- and 2.3 dnsservers functions
a bit differently compared to 2.2 ones). And set "negative_dns_ttl 1 seconds"
in squid.conf -- this is not perfect, but it allows you to press "reload"
button in your browser at least if you get that message (by default, you
cannot do that in 5-15 minutes, do not remember exactly).
Or, and this is more radical solution, downgrade to latest 2.2stable,
especially if you do not use features of 2.3 ("traffic shapering" and
custom replacion policy), till that case will be resolved.
P.S. If you not familiar with software compiling/installation, you have two
relatively simple choices
- find 2.2stable rpm (downgrade)
- get 2.3 source rpm, install it (using -i, not --rebuild), open squid.spec
file (found in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS), and add --disable-internal-dns
into this file to ./configure... line, and execute "rpm -bb squid.spec"
to build.
