Re: [squid-users] how to solve DNS server outage

It should be doing that by default; I suggest you stick wireshark or
tcpdump on your proxy, fail a DNS server and see what happens.

Log a bugzilla report if Squid absolutely doesn't fail over querying
the other DNS servers if your first one fails. Fail means "no reply"
btw..
