I have set my Ubuntu box 'Base' up as a DNS Server and tried to use
squid with partial results. Firefox returns the following:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.cricinfo.com/
The following error was encountered:
    * Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any
parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:
    * The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct
connections to origin servers, and
    * All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.
Your cache administrator is webmaster.

However, I can no longer ssh into Base as the name won't reconcile, I
now must access 192.168.60.254 (eth1) or 192.168.10.23 (eth0)

I feel I am getting close, but need to find out why 'Base' is no
longer working (you will notice that the prompt is 'root@Base'.

Can you offer any suggestions?
