Subject: DNS request failover with SuSE & squid

    i'm experiencing problems with a dns issue on a sparc suse netra (7.1).

    i want to have squid (or the os) to request name resolution from 2 dns
    servers.
    1 server resolves intranet addresses only and the other one resolves
    internet addresses.
    what do i have to configure to let the os (via resolv.conf) and/or squid
    proxy try the internet
    nameserver first and ask the other one *only* if the first request fails.
    at the moment - i get squid DNS resolution errors because it only tries the
    first nameserver.

    maybe it doesn't fail over to the other one, because the first one is still
    running but unable to
    serve the request?

    any ideas?

    thanks a lot

    torsten
