Re: plain hostname problem

Quote from squid.conf:

# TAG: dns_defnames on|off
# Normally the 'dnsserver' disables the RES_DEFNAMES resolver
# option (see res_init(3)). This prevents caches in a hierarchy
# from interpreting single-component hostnames locally. To allow
# dnsserver to handle single-component names, enable this
# option.
#
#dns_defnames off

But append_domain is always done before resolving the DNS name, so if
you use append_domain then this option won't help you.

Another thing you may do (preferred to dns_defnames in most setups) is
to use a smart redirector that rewrites "intranet" requests to their
FQDN host name.
