Expound on this part, please. In what way does it work on the Squid
server itself? Does ping ourcompany.web hit the right IP or does
"squidclient http://ourcompany.web" bring up the page in question? If
it's the former and not the latter, has Squid been restarted (or at
least reconfigured) since the host file change? The hosts file is read
on startup and upon reconfiguration
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/cfgman/hosts_file.html).
