Re: dns_children error with 2.3 stable 2

Dear Franklin,

                In 2.3.Stable version , squid use internal DNS processing,
if you wanna enable external one please specify the option at the time of
compilation, so u need to remove the options from squid.conf about
dns_children if you are using internal dns capability.
