Re: [squid-users] DNS cache-only server question

Well.. then. Your nslookup obviously returns
   qa-three.foobar.com.mydomain.com
which is not quite the the same thing as
   qa-three.foobar.com

The first is a name within the domain mydomain.com, the second is a name
within the domain foobar.com.

Squid does not use DNS search lists, and only accepts fully qualified
domain names. To access this (somewhat odd) alias you need to access it
using the full name "qa-three.foobar.com.mydomain.com".

Most likely the qa-three.fobar.com alias is defined in the wrong DNS
zone. From what it looks it should have been defined in the foobar.com
zone, but is for some reason defined in the mydomain.com zone.
