Re: [squid-users] RE: *** lengthy explanation *** [squid-users] Comments in ACL files...

Hi,

I think what you are trying to achieve can only be done as follows:

o tell your name server it's authority for "foobar.com", ie for bind8
  you'd have in named.conf, something like:

        zone "foobar.com" {
                type master;
                file "db.foobar";
        };

o configure the forward file for foobar.com (db.foobar) with a CNAME
record, ie

        qa-one IN CNAME the.real.host.name.mydomain.com.

  (note the trailing ".")

I am getting the feeling (from the nslookup you showed) that what you've
done is

o configure a CNAME in the file for mydomain.com (eg db.mydomain) as
follows:

        qa-one.foobar.com IN CNAME the.real.host.name.mydomain.com.

This will allow you to ping qa-one.foobar.com and do all the things you
have described but squid won't find it. That's because, as far as your DNS
is concerned, it knows nothing about qa-one.foobar.com and can find out
nothing about qa-one.foobar.com from any other nameserver.

Am I anywhwere near the mark?
