So, does the problem exist if you:

1. Stop Squid
2. Type "host short.domain.name" to resolve the ICAP server manually
3. Start Squid

(The last two commands in as quick succession as possible - preferably on a 
single line separated by a semi-colon)

Why have you added 10.32.1.1 twice?

You do this before starting Squid, and it works, and then when you start 
Squid, it fails for 3 minutes??
