Have you setup eriva7 in your /etc/hosts file ? If not your squid wont be able
to get a fully qualified hostname for the server. Try setting say
eriva7.domain.tld to point towards a internal IP. ? Heres my settings.

[root@hdproxy squid]# cat squid.conf | grep hostname
visible_hostname hdproxy.cks.co.za
unique_hostname hdproxy.cks.co.za
[root@hdproxy squid]# hostname
hdproxy.cks.co.za
[root@hdproxy squid]# cat /etc/hosts | grep hdproxy.cks.co.za
10.240.1.242 hdproxy.cks.co.za hdproxy
[root@hdproxy squid]#
