hi guys,

i have a red hat 9 server with squid through which i sharing the internet connection in the lan. recently the Primary DNS of the internet provider changed, so i changed the DNS entry in /etc/named.conf and /etc/resolv.conf files, but since then sometimes on the client system which are running on xp while browsing i get the following error

i have to restart the server to get away with the error and the error comes back again after some time.
i dont know why i am getting this error please help. thanks in advance.

There might be some problem with your ISP.

In order to make your DNS mobile or that doesn't need change everytime your ISP changes their DNS servers IP or even how often they do it, install a local caching server.

That would as well make your clients DNS queries faster since plenty of information were already cached in your gateway.
