To resolve the name - yes. To keep the data in memory - no. Using a local DNS cache will actually *increase* DNS latency as you are adding a layer to the resolving process. Unless you are on a service where the closest DNS servers change regularly (I.e. ppp client), I recommend just using your upstream DNS servers for squid. If you have a local bind server, you will probably want to give squid that too. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt>.
