Hi,

I thing their is a tricky idea here. And I have tested with IE and
Firefox as browser.

User PC first checks /etc/hosts before DNS Server. In the browser
setting use proxy with port 3128 ( link in non-transparent) and add the
domain/host ( viz: .EXAMPLE.COM/SNEAKY.EXAMPLE.COM) in field of
'no-proxy for:'

This works for my clients. May be in yours scenario too.......
