[SQU] How to access local machines directly

How can I access my local (LAN) machines (http servers) directly.

I have configured my browser to use squid proxy. When I ask my
browser to go to elvis (note the short hostname, not fully qualified)
then squid can not figure out how to proceed.

I have done the following, with no avail

acl sc.prepass src 138.69.5.0/24
always_direct allow sc.prepass
dns_defnames on

In fact this dns_defnames , per squid.conf seems to be the right guy.

Also my /etc/resolv.conf on my proxy server contains

domain sc.prepass.com
search sc.prepass.com
nameserver 138.69.5.104

So, when a URL like "http://medi" comes along, squid should
deduce that this is a local box, ie medi.sc.prepass.com. That is
what telnet(1), ftp(1) and other clients do. The rule is if not
qualified, then hostname is a local box.
