Hi Amos,
Thanks for the reply. I could now understand the meaning of transparent
proxy wrt DNS lookups !
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0801
In order to prevent malicious clients using the proxy to bypass browser
security, firewall rules, or spread infections across the LAN. Squid-3.2
performs DNS lookups on the Host: header domain to validate whether it
matches the intercepted TCP connection details accurately and disable
any dangerous actions like caching.
