I am running Red Hat 7.0 with Squid for internet access. Their are maybe 7 users total using it. This has been running for a year without incident until a month ago. We can not get out to web sites, like www.msn.com. It comes up saying "Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.msn.com "
Also:
The dnsserver returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

I am not sure what is going on but any suggestions would be appreciated.

When did you upgrad to 7.0 . . .is that when the problem started. try to ping some of those sites from your linux box. . . It also could be that bind is not setup correctly. Check and make sure you actually have a connection to the internet.

A little more info on how you connect to the internet and how your ipchains are setup would help

The server came preinstalled with RedHat 7. It has been fine for a year. It connects thru a T-1. I can ping any web site that I can get onto thru the browser but any site that I can not reach thru the browser comes up with UNKNOW HOST. I tried to ping MSN since that is one of the sites that is giving me a problem. I also have a MS-Proxyserver running and it hits all of the sites that the Squid is not allowing. The Server is running Multiple IPs for one host. This problem just started a month ago. The Server has been great up to that point.
