[squid-users] squid as a local proxy for kerberos authentication

[Christoph Mathys]

Hi Alex,

I gave it a try to examine the code. What worries me is that
peerDnsRefreshStart() has hard-coded values of 180s and 3600s. I seem
to always see the 3600s variant and cannot get any other behavior from
squid (but 3min waiting would still be a lot). If the peers are
resolved, squid recovers all right from failed connection attempts.

My planed workaround is to have some kind of monitor-service that
sends SIGHUP to squid when the VPN connection changes. Squid will
forget about the failed DNS lookups and immediately try to resolve the
peers, and service is restored in seconds. Hope it works out!

Thx,
Christoph
