The > > #dns_nameser 208.67.222.2224.2.2.4 was a typo that was corrected in my working squid.conf, > #dns_nameservers 208.67.222.222 4.2.2.4 If I understood the documentation on this there is no punctuation needed, and nicely squid avoids that kind of syntax confusion. I found out a couple things I wanted were indeed not compiled in to standard builds, but missed that the dns plug-in was an non-standard extra. Thanks for clearing this up for me. And yes, I am indeed using 3.1.19 from default Ubuntu precise repos. BTW, I now realize that I was copying from a rather messed up conf file I'd saved. The keyboard was diing. As for nameser vs nameservers at very high words perminute rates syntyh speech makes differences like that easy to miss, i.e. I use a screen readr to access computers as I can't see the screen. Going to delete the file I copied those lines from right now/so sorry for wasting your time helping me with problems I don't even have...grin/got enough real ones.

Actually for me squid is only being used for when I need to appear from
somewhere I am not when traveling, and to be safer when having to use public or
otherwise less than ideal networks, but what you say certainly makes sense, and
it's always best to be prepared for other posible use sinarios.
