as_whois_server

as_whois_server

This is the hostname of the whois server Squid uses to resolve Autonomous System numbers into IP networks. You only need to worry about this if you use AS-based ACLs (src_as, dst_as).

The default server, whois.ra.net, seems to work relatively well. It may be too far away (and unreliable) for non-U.S. users. If you know of a local whois server that returns AS queries, feel free to use it instead.
