I'm quite new to proxies/networking so I'll try and be as verbose as I can. I have a VM that will request access to an internal host (dev.abc.com). This host container and other containers which are dependencies are created locally on my mac (using docker for mac). So I also run a docker squid container (datadog/squid) on my mac to allow that VM to use the same network/access same hosts. From inside my VM when I use the proxy to curl sites like Google/Facebook/Yahoo i get proper responses. But when I curl this host I get an ERR_DNS_FAIL result. <div id="content"> <p>The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://dev.abc.com/ <http://dev.abc.com/> </p> <blockquote id="error"> <p>*Unable to determine IP address from host name <q>dev.abc.com</q>*</p> </blockquote> <p>The DNS server returned:</p> <blockquote id="data"> <pre>Name Error: The domain name does not exist.</pre> </blockquote> <p>This means that the cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.

I *think* that the issue lies in my squid config but I'm not sure what exactly I need to modify/add. I basically took the huge config file provided by the image and removed all the unnecessary comments/options. The site said that /Please note that the stock configuration available with the container is set for local access /. So thats currently what my config does. Here is what is looks like: --------------------------------------------------- # Adapt to list your (internal) IP networks from where browsing should be allowed acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src fc00::/7 # RFC 4193 local private network range acl localnet src fe80::/10 # RFC 4291 link-local (directly plugged) machines acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT # Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration: # Deny requests to certain unsafe ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports # Only allow cachemgr access from localhost http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access deny to_localhost http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost # And finally deny all other access to this proxy http_access deny all # Squid normally listens to port 3128 http_port 3128 debug_options rotate=1 ALL,2 --------------------------------------------------- What modifications/config options should i be looking into so that my internal host resolves?
