That should be http://test.yourinternal.domain/ as published in your
intranet DNS.

Or alternatively (but not recommended) you can set "dns_defnames on" in
squid.conf to have Squid search the DNS search path to find the host.
But be warned that this may have negative impact on internet surfing
performance.

What you mean by by "respective DNS servers"? The configured DNS servers
all need to be able to resolve all names. It does not work having one
DNS for external and one DNS for internal names.
