[squid-users] Re: Appending multiple domains for non-FQDN DNS resolution

I have now built another Squid server based on 3.0 STABLE19 but am
experiencing the same results.
I can resolve all non-FQDN addresses perfectly (across our three internal
domains) from the server command line yet Squid refuses to query DNS based
on the multiple search domains specified in resolv.conf. I have yet to
disable Squid’s internal DNS as I read its far from the preferred setup in
a modern install.

Any ideas ?

Upgrade your Squid. The ones released in the last year or so should be
handling resolv.conf search properly.
