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. How can I make squid not to look in to /etc/hosts file and should resolve the local domains also thru DNS only.. Pls guide me regds Geetha

You can't because squid is designed just for that; to be able to resolve local domains via /etc/hosts. You are turning the world, somewhat around. Make sure that hosts and or dns names are unique whether defined in /etc/hosts or not. Then your problem vanishes. So the 'other purpose' should be implemented in a more transparant way on your Intranet. M.
