What is a "bad IP"? :) I guess that the server you run Squid on is not
correctly configured in means of DNS. Please check your
/etc/resolv.conf. Query "www.microsoft.com" from your proxy server
(using 'nslookup', 'host' or 'dig' or what you feel like) and see if it
works. It may also be that the DNS you are querying is misconfigured.
