This is a proxy server, not a DNS server, and does not connect to a DNS 
server that we have any control over... The primary/secondary DNS is 
handled through the primary host (Cox) for all of our servers so we do 
not want to alter it for all several hundred servers, just these 4 
(maybe 6).
I was originally thinking of modifying the resolv.conf but again that is 
internal DNS used by the server itself. The users will have their own 
DNS settings causing it to either ignore our settings, or right back to 
the "Website cannot be displayed" errors due to the DNS loop.

So finding a way to redirect in squid should be the better route for us 
since DNS is not an option....
Essentially www.google.com --> forcesafesearch.google.com
