At the risk of getting even more off-topic... I was under the impression that transparent in-line caches don't have to do DNS lookups at all as the web browser has already done that and tried to connect to the IP of the web site before the traffic is intercepted by the cache.
They have this habit of using the Host header (http/1.1) to rebuild the URL that the connection is to, so the cache ends up trying to re-resolve the hostname.
