Interesting part is that if you add the visible_hostname, you can put in
whatever you want, even visible_hostname = foobar, and then squid will
start. I don't know what it will do afterwards - haven't had time to try
it, but it will start via sudo /etc/init.d/squid start (or restart). So
it doesn't actually appear to be checking hostname -f or anything else
that I can see. I think it's just looking for a hostname to put in the logs.
