Trying to get to www.microsoft.com results in a "No address records" error.

i.e., it has no A records, but has a CNAME, which in turn has no A records
but is a CNAME, which finally resolves to a number of A records.

There might be a pedantic reason why CNAME records are ignored by squid,
but this (failure to reach such a big site) should, IMHO, definitely be
considered a serious problem.
