You may want to build a caching-only nameserver on localhost. I am not using squid atm, but use a cahing-only nameserver to reduce traffic/ connection times on my dialup link. It should work w/o problems for squid. The bind package set up a caching-only nameserver when installed. There is more info at: http://localhost/doc/HOWTO/en-html/DNS-HOWTO.html or /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/DNS-HOWTO.txt.gz if you do not have the HOWTOs installed on you machine, look here: http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html the setup described in the howto differs somewhat from the debian bind defaults, but it explains the concepts pretty well. Read the HOWTO, but use the defaults, IMHO. -- Paul T. Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -currently seeking employment- -- Paul T. Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -currently seeking employment-
