internal website weirdness

So, somehow, yesterday, my /etc/hosts file either rewrote itself or reverted to an old version.

That's weird in and of itself, but not impossible to deal with.

However, now most people can't access the internal website for file uploads. They can get to it using the ip address of the site, but not by using name resolution.

The name of the machine is in the /etc/hosts file (as well as /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/hosts for good measure) but no good.

These machines access the net through squid. If I remove the squid connection and give them a direct connection, they can access the page just fine. Put squid back and it's a no go.

The domain is listed under squid's allowed urls.

The error I'm getting is that the domain name cannot be resolved (ie mapped to an ip address). I'm rather lost here. I've done everyhting I can think to do.

I'm running ubuntu 6.06 here and all the failed connections are on firefox.
