The recommended reverse-proxy accelerator setup does not require DNS in
any form.

It is possible to direct "cache_peer_access blah allow all" to the web
server if you only have one backend and all domains go to it. Just note
that this removes any false-domain restrictions squid might otherwise
provide, and only works with a single back-end.
