In your squid.conf there is an option to set a visible_hostname tag. Just open it up, and search for it in that huge file. You will notice that it's default is "none".
Squid is actually doing this because it cannot determine your current hostname. Either you have a problem with the hostname of your box "Orion" which I don't think is the case or your DNS servers that squid is trying to use do not recognize what your hostname should be.
You could set the visible_hostname tag, but that might not solve your problem as it's a little deeper than just having a name to display.
Which IP address are you binding squid to? and internal one or an external? Is there an entry in your /etc/hosts for that ip address?
