Re: [SQU] How to access local machines directly

in squid.conf there is a line:

append_domain .yourdomain.com

modify this value to match your domain name (notice the syntax is dot domain dot com).

...or....

If you don't want to use the proxy for internal http servers, in IE 5.x you can bypass proxy for local servers with a checkbox.

  Subject: [SQU] How to access local machines directly

  How can I access my local (LAN) machines (http servers) directly.
  I have configured my browser to use squid proxy. When I ask my
  browser to go to elvis (note the short hostname, not fully qualified)
  then squid can not figure out how to proceed.

  I have done the following, with no avail

  acl sc.prepass src 138.69.5.0/24
  always_direct allow sc.prepass
  dns_defnames on

  In fact this dns_defnames , per squid.conf seems to be the right guy.

  Also my /etc/resolv.conf on my proxy server contains

  domain sc.prepass.com
  search sc.prepass.com
  nameserver 138.69.5.104

  So, when a URL like "http://medi" comes along, squid should
  deduce that this is a local box, ie medi.sc.prepass.com. That is
  what telnet(1), ftp(1) and other clients do. The rule is if not
  qualified, then hostname is a local box.
