[squid-users] Squid Proxy not caching DNS

Hello,

I have a problem when connecting to a destination site who are running DNS
round robin for its 3 web servers A, B & C. Upon opening the main page for
list of reports, whihch required user ID & password for SSL, it prompts for
login again when trying to traverse to next page quoting credentials
timed-out.

Debug mode showed Squid proxy as our proxy made a DNS request again within
seconds (when next page is traversed), which returned with a different IP
from DNS round robin.

I knew this is a typical issue highlighted by someone before and the
workaround is to use host file, but seemed like no actual resolution to fine
tune Squid proxy. Can DNS Name cache in Squid be set to retain resolved DNS
name to certain time so it wouldn't have to query DNS again so fast ?

Regards
Chisholm
