Squid proxy

Vikas_2 — Fri, 11 May 2001 00:59:49 GMT

I have a small test network and I'm trying to install squid proxy 2.4 on Linux 7.1
I don't have any DNS serevr running and I plan to resolv it through hosts file. But the squid doesn;t come up with the error DNS lookup failed. Is it necessary to have DNS running or there is some way to bypass it.Any suggestions!

squid does some DNS checks before starting.
To disable these, add option -D to squid command line, and there it goes.
