Re: [squid-users] Low performance even with low number of users

Could you check also availability of primary DNS server on proxy node? I
suspect that the one is not available, so squid makes dns query to
primary server, waits for timeout (5 seconds by default IIRC) and then
queries the secondary DNS server (which answers to squid and you get
your page with 5-7 sec delay).
