Re: [squid-users] Resolving internal hosts

/etc/hosts is only used if you build squid with --disable-internal-dns,
or is brave enough to try the Squid-2.5 snapshots.

--disable-internal-dns will disable the built-in DNS client of Squid and
instead rely on the OS provided resolver (which uses /etc/nsswitch.conf
as usual..).

Squid-2.5 knows about the existense of /etc/hosts and will read this in
addition to using DNS, giving /etc/hosts higher priority than DNS.
