RE: [SQU] hostname resolution

u would probably have to configure a machine as the DNS server. this could
be the same machine running the proxy. specify the site and the
corresponding ip that you want in the DNS servers host file. Fot other
looups, u will have to make your DNS as the DNS client of the actual DNS
server using "named.ca"

Subject: [SQU] hostname resolution

We use squid as supplied with Red Hat Linux 6.2.

I know very little about squid and so apologies if this question is dead
simple.

Basically I have been told that squid 'handles' the details for domain name
resolution for any request sent to it. I basically want to hardcode an
internet IP so that when squid gets say www.a.com it can resolve it to the
IP I want rather than consulting some name server. I'm thinking some local
hosts file but I know not how squid handles any of this. Any quick
pointers? I've had a look at the squid web-site docs and FAQ's but time is
not on my side.

Any help greatly appreciated, even it is just to let me know that the answer
IS on FAQ!

Regards,
        William
