I just set up a squid proxy as a parent proxy to HAVP. When I or other users try to access a domain with an address like "http://foo" I get the following squid error in the browser:

The dnsserver returned:

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

However, "http://foo.companyname.com" works fine. The search domain in resolv.conf on both the client and proxy host is companyname.com. (There a better term for "search domain"?)

Is there a way to correct this, maybe something in the squid.conf file?.
