How to update Squid DNS Entry ?
how to Update Squid Cache records?

Hi,

You can use PURGE to delete the cache entries of the offending URL. To do so, add:
in squid.conf and reload configuration:
Then use:
to remove these entries from cache. You have to do it for every failing URL.
If squid listens on a port different than 3128 then add "-p <port-number>" in the above commands.

how to bypass Squid server for specific url?
 

Bathory,

Please i have one more issue ,As my mail.mydomain.com is localy hosted with Ip Address eth0 192.168.1.12 & public address eth0:0 22x.10.xx.xx
I want to decrease load on my Squid to resolve every request against my mail.mydomain.com.

is there any Ip tables rules so when my clients request to specific website/mail.mydomain.com Through Proxy Server it directly move to 192.168.1.12 without processing by squid server ??

thanks and waiting.

Hi,

You can put in the hosts file (/etc/hosts) of the box running squid an entry:
so squid is not going to ask dns for resolving your mail server.
Or, (better solution if possible) setup a dns server using different views for internal and external hosts.

Btw my previous post was just for avoiding the downtime of the whole procedure to stop squid, delete cache, recreate it and restart squid
