  Beautiful....it worked...
  I didn't want to mess with the client because it increases IT overhead.

      Subject: [SQU] How to access local machines directly
       How can I access my local (LAN) machines (http servers) directly.
      I have configured my browser to use squid proxy. When I ask my
      browser to go to elvis (note the short hostname, not fully qualified)
      then squid can not figure out how to proceed.

      I have done the following, with no avail

      acl sc.prepass src 138.69.5.0/24
      always_direct allow sc.prepass
      dns_defnames on

      In fact this dns_defnames , per squid.conf seems to be the right guy.

      Also my /etc/resolv.conf on my proxy server contains

      domain sc.prepass.com
      search sc.prepass.com
      nameserver 138.69.5.104

      So, when a URL like "http://medi" comes along, squid should
      deduce that this is a local box, ie medi.sc.prepass.com. That is
      what telnet(1), ftp(1) and other clients do. The rule is if not
      qualified, then hostname is a local box.
