RE: [squid-users] Multiple DNS search suffixes

Nope; two problems with append_domain:

- It can be used with only one suffix; not five.
- It won't work for dotted, non-FQDN addresses, like www.leon.leon

Any other ideas out there? By the way, I moved Squid over to a Windows
Server 2003 box in the name of server consolidation. :-)

Thanks

I -think- its append_domain in the squid config file.
