Thank you Livhu. I'm now trying as you and Paul suggested. I'll come back to
you again. We have a bunch of about 100 users here.

I had the same problem, I configured one machine as a cache nameserver,
and
the other machines uses it as the nameserver. Internet surfing is
fast
now. I
found out that resolving names using ISP DNS takes a long time and
that it
times out a lot and squid was not the problem. Try to use tcpdump to see
what
is happening.
