Re: [SQU] squid and apache?

This does not sound like a SQUID issue but rather a configuration issue. The
server running simply does not know how to resolve the intranet FQDN you are
putting in your browser. Straighten out your DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf so
we can resolve that web server name on your intranet. If it does not work at the
proixy server side, it will not work for the clients.
