I need to get my RH 7.2 proxy server running squid (2.4.STABLE3-1.7.2) to
use the hosts file
to lookup local (private address), not DNS, which it insists upon doing now.

/etc/hosts looks like:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 proxy.accenttravel.com proxy localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.50.4 www.accenttravel.com accenttravel.com


I can ping the web server, and it will use the hosts file:

# ping www.accenttravel.com
...
64 bytes from www.accenttravel.com (192.168.50.4)

and mozilla (run on the proxy server) has no trouble getting the files from
the local address.

Yet Squid insists upon going out to the external DNS server and fetching
 the public address, which it doesn't know how to reach.

I can't find anything in the squid documentation related to this.  Can
anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
