When the browser points to a caching proxy, it never fails a DNS lookup so the browser auto-complete never cuts in. I can't think of any browser level solution, however, this functionality could easily be employed at the caching proxy level.
You can use a proxy.pac file to trigger the address completetion while using the proxy. I don't remember the exact details but I think it is automatic if the pac file looks for the destination server IP address.
I would like a way to set squid so that if it received a one-word URL, it first tries to resolve the URL (It may be a valid hostname on the local network).
You should be able to use a redirector for this. Certainly so with the help of "append_domain autocomplete" and have the redirector look for and act on requests like http://hostname.autocomplete/...
