I tried finding the other posts about the hosts file but none really
relate to what I'm trying to do.
I changed my squid.conf file and removed references to the backend
server (httpd_accel_host and TheOriginServer) and used the public URL
that points to squid. In the host file I mapped that public URL to the
internal IP address of the backend server. This is what I get in the
access.log:

1107379531.406 19 x.x.x.154 TCP_MISS/302 156 GET
http://squid.xxxxxxx.net/ - NONE/- -

Not sure what I'm missing

Tried this too but seems like it is an endless loop. The public URL
points to squid. Isn't the redirector processed before squid does its
magic? Therefore wouldn't the redirector continuously redirect the
client to squid? I must be missing something.
