Squid already "gets" the IP address said client was connecting to. It inquires the NAT/interception layer to find out where the client connection was originally trying to talk to. It uses this to satisfy HTTP/0.9 and HTTP/1.0 requests without Host: headers. I don't know how happy Squid would be without a DNS server though; but it sounds like a useful feature to have if it doesn't already do it (Henrik would know better than I.) If Squid doesn't do it then please file a feature request in Bugzilla and we'll get to it after we've released Squid-3. Yes, we're going to release Squid-3.0. And then 3.1. Honest :) Adrian
