[root@sdprx01 ~]# rpm -q squid
squid-2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.12
[root@sdprx01 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2)

squid isn't using the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf On the command
line, I can ping a host name:

[root@sdprx01 ~]# ping sddmz01
PING sddmz01.internal.domain (10.3.3.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from sddmz01.internal.domain (10.3.3.8): icmp_seq=0 ttl=63
time=0.445 ms
64 bytes from sddmz01.internal.domain (10.3.3.8): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63
time=0.327 ms

But when I try to go to http://sddmz01/ I get:

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://sddmz01/

The following error was encountered:

    Unable to determine IP address from host name for sddmz01

The dnsserver returned:

    Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

This means that:

 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
 Check if the address is correct.

http://sddmz01.internal.domain works/ just fine.

There is nothing in any of the log files that sheds any additional
light.
