[squid-users] DNS problem?

Hello,

I am confused as to why I can't get to our web server using squid as a
proxy. Brief overview, I have squid-2.4STABEL2 on Solaris 8. squid set up
to accept request on port 80. I am able to access other web sites. have the
following setup:

intranet --> squid proxy server -- firewall ----> out to internet <---
works great
                                |
                                V
                                company web server <-- can't get to

I have asked the firewall guys if there is a rule for allowing access from
the squid server to/from the web server and they say yes.
when I am on the squid proxy server, I have run the client app - from
command line - and get a response that need to be authorized before
accessing squid -- which is good -- no access if not authorized -- using
NCSA auth module. but question remains if actually trying to get to web
site. using the nameservers 12.127.17.71, 12.127.16.67 which are for our web
site -- if do nslookup from squid machine can find www.rxamerica.com ip
address.
there is a dns server setup in the intranet for the domain but it doesn't
have the web servers in it(problem?).

so thought I might try using the always_direct acl. -- am I on the right
track or should I disable the internal dns for squid?
or do I need to look elsewhere?

error in access.log file:
1002067645.861 239887 10.40.10.234 TCP_MISS/504 1030 GET
http://www.rxamerica.com/ mikeg NONE/- -

any hints/links/suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
mikeg
