Off-topic: That introductory section of the FAQ, to which you point the OP,
makes several references to "dnsserver" but it looks like that is no longer
a preferred method. As the perlmongers would say: "hasn't it been
deprecated?" For example, the 2.3 Release notes
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.3/) say: "removed dnsservers --
In this version, DNS lookups are done by the main Squid process by default.
Squid reads your /etc/resolv.conf file to get a list of nameservers that it
can query." And this bit of the FAQ
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-11.html#ss11.39) implies "don't use
dnsserver": "As of Squid 2.3, the default is to use internal DNS lookup
code. The cache_dns_program and dns_children options are not known
squid.conf directives in this case." However that intro you quoted implies
it's still an active part of squid. Am I confused or was it just left in
due to everyone being busy :)

thanks,

Adam
