[squid-users] /etc/hosts is ignored when browser is pointed to use a proxy, any workaround?

Hello,

Ive noticed that when a computer is set to use a transparent proxy
(forced one) , or when it is pointed in the settings of the browser
the contents for /etc/hosts in that particular computer are ignored. I
assume it is because the DNS request is actually performed by squid on
the remote box and not by the user computer.

However... the functionality of /etc/hosts is both practical and
required for our IT department testing in comparison of setting up a
DNS server and have the hassle of maintaning this.

Is there any work arround to this for squid?

Thank you

Andres
