Yes this is in there. By trial and error I have managed to get it
working although what I changed I am not to sure. I changed the domain
to "oncolt.com" which is what the nameservers domain is but I honestly
dont think that this did it. Apache is now working and serving pages.
Not sure if there is any point putting squid on the box anymore now
that I have adsl.
