There is a typo! The word should be not! Not now!

The client - no matter what they are need to resolve the dns name to an ip
address to make the connection!
The proxy will only intercept the packets destined to the internet on port 80
and should invisibly handle the request, cache what needs to be cached and
pass the page contents back to the client!

If you want to do without client dns lookups you have to use a "normal" proxy
setup!
