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

Hendrik,

My squid.conf has the entire dns_nameservers section commented out as in
your example.

I may look into providing a local DNS.

Adam,

My /etc/resolv.conf looks ok. The servers are in the same order that I use
directly. I'll try switching the order around anyway to see if that helps.

Angela,

I haven't seen any error messages from squid, just really long initial
delays.

Thanks for all the suggestions, Jim
