Specifically i have an Exchange box with OWA running on it @ the internal presence of EMAIL. It also has a redirective url of MYEMAIL to make it easier for students to get on. Currently i have the necessary addresses in the ByPass Proxy list which works fine. However the teachers have requested that we make it controllable
in-line with the per room controls of the internet.

I have always_direct lines in for the address, and i have added no_cache lines too. With these it looks for the server from our 2.4 STABLE2 squid box rather than forwarding it on to the ISPs 2.5 STABLE4.

It seems that there is a real NBCS.NET on the web which happens to be our internal one as upon pinging email.nbcs.net with the ISPs DNS up first on the resolve.conf and then our own results in finding this other domain. Changing the order of DNS servers does make it ping correctly, but Squid still fails to see it. I've also added the addresses to the Hosts file with the same negative result.

What on earth could i be missing?! Cheers in advance.
