However Squid 2.7 has a lovely feature which is giving me new trouble; when Squid 2.7 starts up it performs a DNS test, and if this is unsuccessful after several attempts it will auto-quit. This is very annoying for me as my machine's internet connection takes a while to resolve after starting up (usually about 5 minutes), meaning I have to manually start Squid instead of using the launchd configuration as it auto-quits every time.

It looks to me like /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.Squid/Squid.wrapper is the correct place, but I'm wondering if this is likely to be overwritten during a MacPorts upgrade? Is there any more preferable place to put the option?

I don't really no what you are talking about but I find that most of the squid options I deal with are in the /opt/local/etc/squid/squid.conf.

Hope that helps.
