Re: [squid-users] dns_children

Any special reason to why you have to configure dns_children to 10?

The directive does not apply to default builds of Squid simply because
it is no longer needed as there is no limit on concurrent DNS lookups in
the current code. It is only available if Squid is built using the
(obsolete) dnsserver approach to DNS lookups (--disable-internal-dns).

Just delete the directive from your squid.conf and you should be fine.
