Re: [squid-users] Delay of initial response from server

Hmm, I tried using the IP instead and I *do* get almost immediate
responses.... Strange thing is, I use the same DNS numbers for my
Powerbook and I don't see this delay in initial response when I'm at home
and not going through squid.

Also, I can use lynx from the server (on which squid is running) and there
is no delay in accessing any web sites using their fqdn.

Is there some DNS setting I made in my initial setup while on cable that I
need to change now that I'm using a different service?

Thanks again, Jim
