RE: [squid-users] Squid_Ldap_Auth error "Cant Contact LDAP Server" (Solved!!)

Hi
As the linuxbox access the Win2K box running ADS for
getting the user authenticated using squid_ldap_auth,
when the machine running DNS goes down linuxbox is
not able to reach the Win2K box running ADS I suppose.
As soon as the DNS system came back to life
authentication is working fine. Anyone can tell me
more why this happens?
Thanx & regards
Babs
