I setup a squid proxy for a couple of pc's that people aren't suppose to be accessing the internet on except for certain sites on our intranet.

I was able to get squid up and running. I started with a deny all and then added the allow rules for certian sites.
ie: https://www.123.com ect.. everything works great

There problem is one site the users must have access to is running on a windows machine. The users need to connect to http://machinename/wam/logon
squid returns the error

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://machinename/wam/logon

The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for machinename

The dnsserver returned:
Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

The linux box can ping the machine by using the hostname. I even added the ip address and the machine name in the linux boxs hosts file. I have the machine name added as allow in a URL Regexp acl.

Any ideas would be very helpful
