[squid-users] Squid and local names

Hello,

  I recently setup squid for my local network. I have had netfilter
running on the box previously, and I am using it to redirect port 80
requests to 3128, for squid. This is working great... with only one
drawback. I could usually refer to the machine (locally) as NIN, which
is in the /etc/hosts file, and I put it in the squid.conf file...

hostname_aliases NIN

Yet when I go to a website (and call it locally) I get a "The requested
URL could not be retrieved" error. So I guess my question is... how do
I tell squid that NIN = 172.16.0.1 = a local host ???
