I had this problem too. We needed users in a DMZ burb to be able to access a website in our internal network using just the hostname. You need to set the append_domain directive in the squid.conf file. The directive is documented in the squid.conf file.

Hello

In our setup, users on our local network get http access via the
WebProxy server on Sidewinder. (Version 5.2) If a user tries to access a
web server on our internal network and they use a fully qualified domain
name, it all works just fine. If they don't, they get the following
error:

   While trying to retrieve the URL: http://whosout/ 

   The following error was encountered:
   Unable to determine IP address from host name for whosout

   The dnsserver returned:
   DNS Domain 'whosout' is invalid: Host not found (authoritative).


I am not sure which burb/resolver this is coming from. Is there any way
to make sidewinder resolve these unqualified local names for this case?

Many thanks,

Steve.
