DNS Server problems

This moring at 4:50 I sent a SIGTERM to Squid to shut it down so that
RunCache could start a fresh copy. It appears that the initial Squid
never finished before RunCache tried to start a new one (maybe). Also
the messages about reading the store log lines sometimes appear and
sometimes don't, there isn't any rule to when they will appear. My
cache.log is now full of the following messages:
