RE: [squid-users] How to disable dns resolving only for domains"behind" cache-peer???

Hi Henrik,

Thank you for your advice! I managed to disable dns resolving by putting
an "always_direct" deny statement for the domains behind the cache-peer
in squid.conf

Case closed! Once again thank you very much for assistance!

Dirk

Squid resolves DNS names when

a) http_access processing reaches an ACL dependent on the destiation IP.

b) If it tries to go direct to the origin (never_direct not in effect).

c) If you for some reason have enabled ICMP pinging.
