Setting Squid options

[Haravikk]

I'm referring to a command-line option/flag (-D); as far as I've been able to find out there is no configuration directive that corresponds to it, which is a bit annoying, otherwise this'd be nice and easy =)

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?
