I check my resolv.conf, it's sweet. Pinging just the computer name (without
the DNS suffix appended) from the linux box results in a correct DNS lookup
and the ping works fine. However, Squid still doesn't resolve just the
computer name, even though the DNS config of the linux box is working.

I added the append_domain option in Squid. This worked, however not without
problems. We have *two* domains with lengthy names. When using
append_domain, it blindly adds the single domain suffix to any computer name
without dots. If the computer is a member of another Whereas what I need is
a correct DNS lookup search because of our two domains. If one DNS lookup
fails, try the next domain suffix, etc.

Is this do-able?
