Have I overlooked something in the FAQ's? :

I have set up a Web server to function as our Intranet server on an IP address 
internal to our network. On the proxy server (Squid/2.3.STABLE1 running on 
Redhat 6.2), I have added an entry for the Intranet site to the /etc/hosts file, so 
that I can successfully type "ping intranet".  


Without creating a "hosts" file on every workstation, I would like all requests to 
the proxy server for "http://intranet" to access the internal site.  


At the moment, the proxy server relies on 2 name servers outside of our 
network, and I would like to not have to set up a local DNS.  


<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Am I overlooking a special entry in squid.con that will allow me to force it into 
using this address or prehaps making it look at /etc/hosts before </color>querying the 
DNS servers?
