[squid-users] resolving local websites

Hello All:

I have couple of Redhat Linux servers. On one of the server I am running
"squid-2.4.STABLE1"
version. I am able to access external websites such as www.google.com etc
successfully. I have
configured browser proxy for that to work.

I have couple of websites running locally which is for the internal use.
Their naming
conventions are usually "example-dev" etc. Usually these resolutions are
handled by WINS server
in which I create entry. But now after enabling SQUID, it gives me this
error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://example-dev/
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for example-dev
The dnsserver returned:
Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:
 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
 Check if the address is correct.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Any idea on how to get rid of this problem? Is there any way I can bypass
SQUID for internal
websites? I also tried this which does not work:

acl internal dst 10.0.0.0/8
always_direct allow internal
