Re: [squid-users] in crease dns response

Are you using the internal DNS client (default in Squid-2.3 and
later), or the external DNS client (dnsserver, the only choice in
Squid-2.2 and earlier)?

How are these connected to their DNS servers? Over a good link, or a
slow/overloaded link?

Also compare with the statistics printed in cachemgr. I think SNMP
gives you average response time, while cachemgr gives you median...
It could be that there is a few DNS lookups for failing DNS domains
causing the difference..

What you can try is to have your DNS caches forward to a central DNS
server if applicable. This helps quite a bit on "remote" DNS servers
on slow links.

IIRC bind can also collect some statistics that might give you a
better view of what is going on.
