[squid-users] squid host mapping problem

using squid 2.6.STABLE18 on ubuntu

i have an old internal webserver at x.y.82.15 that needs to go away.
the new internal webserver is at x.y.82.11
i've changed the /etc/hosts file to point to the new address but my
clients keep getting content from the old webserver from squid.

on the squid server i can ping the hostname ourcompany.web and it
correctly resolves to x.y.82.11

on the squid server (using itself as a proxy) i can connect to
http://ourcompany.web and it pulls content from the correct webserver.
however clients still get the old server. they are xp clients and they
have no hostname configured and ourcompany.web does not resolve thru
dns.

i did "sudo grep -r x.y.82.15 /etc/*" just to see if there was some
other hosts mapping somewhere and it did turn up "/etc/hosts~" with
x.y.82.15 but  i fixed  that one, restarted squid and no luck and then
i restarted the server and still nothing (can anyone tell me what that
/etc/hosts~ file is???)

i suspected the old site was getting cached out but i dont think im
even using caching but please correct me if im wrong

/etc/hosts & etc/squid/squid.conf below .. routable addresses have been masked.

if im overlooking something stupid please feel free to berate me.

thanks for any help!
