Maybe thats because dnsserver in squid tries to look up the canonical name.
The people @usherb.ca should have set it up the other way 'round, i.e. make
www.crc_cuse.USherb.ca the alias name for www.crc-cuse.usherb.ca.

nixalsverdrus# nslookup www.crc-cuse.usherb.ca
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

Name:
Address: 132.210.161.70

most of the time both provide gethostbyname(). if you do not link with
-resolv or the like, you get stock libc gethostbyname(), but there are systems
out there that do not implement this call in libc.
