RE: [squid-users] Squid won't work with internal addresses even thou they resolve?

Chris, You legend.

The person that set up this server had manually specified a DNS server
and in squid.conf. He didn't realise that if you don't specify a DNS
server it uses linux's one in /etc/resolve.conf and I didn't realise
that you could specify a dns server in the conf file. ;)

We inherited this box as we have merged two help desks into one.

I owe you an Ice Coffee(local beverage of South Australia that outsells
coke)

Thanks a lot.

Regards
Matthew

Running "squidclient cache_object://localhost/idns" on your squid box
will give you a list of the DNS servers that squid is using. Make sure
this list is what you are expecting.

Are you using a parent proxy outside the 10. network?

What do the access logs look like for requests that fail?

What does the web page look like (which server is giving the error)?

When running the ping, what IP address does the intranet server reply
as?

Chris

Hi All,

I have a nicely working squid (latest stable4 I think from memory) your
normal proxyserver with two cards.

Outside card .> default gw to internet
Inside card 10.1.1.1 with routes to our router.

I have it doing DNS off our AD dns server so I can resolve internal
addresses as well as external ones and it resolves our intranet server
fine with a ping. No hosts, just dns.

However when I surf to it, it comes up and says host unknown. When I
surf to a normal outside address I have no problems.

I work around the issue with exceptions in my IE and other clients but I
would like it tow rok through the proxy so I don't have a phone call
every few days when someone's been playing witht their exceptions.
(well not every day, but it would eliminate yet another batch of calls
for the same thing)

And ideas people?

Ta
