Recently we shifted our web server to a IP say 172.16.2.80. but the system in which squid is running has in its /etc/hosts file 172.16.0.1 webserver I want this entry not to be changed becos of some other purpose. so now if anybody browse webserver thru squid it is pointing to 172.16.0.1 as webserver.
