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

Then your problem vanishes.

So the 'other purpose' should be implemented in a more
transparant way on your Intranet.
