This may seem stupid, How can we configure squid to allow employees to modify 
their own hosts file in windows to work? Currently if someone has a host file 
entry that points to a non-existent domain, they can ping it from their 
workstations fine, but when they browse they get the squid error page. Is there 
a way to tell squid to allow this kind of request or will I need to build up a 
hosts file on the transparent proxy itself.

The following error was encountered: 
Unable to determine IP address from host name for whatever.whatever.com 
The dnsserver returned: 
Name Error: The domain name does not exist. 
This means that: 
 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. 
 Check if the address is correct. 


Regards,
Nick
