Using Polipo with Privoxy and /etc/hosts

Hi,

First time Polipo user.  I decided to integrate Polipo into my current
setup, and have run into something I don't know how to solve.

Spec:

Debian 7 "Wheezy" (Stable) server on my home LAN, running Privoxy 3.0.19 
& Polipo 1.0.4.1-1.2.  Upgrading any of the packages mentioned will not be
contemplated, as it adds undue complexity and fragility.

Problem:

One of the things my Privoxy setup does is read from my /etc/hosts file on
the server to perform a single important change for all the Macs using
Privoxy:

[code]
# Replace Yahoo! Search with DuckDuckGo
184.72.115.86   search.yahoo.com
[/code]

This redirects all search queries from Yahoo! to DuckDuckGo.  This works
just fine.

However, once I add Polipo into the chain, it breaks.  In the Privoxy config:

[code]
forward / localhost:8123
[/code]

So, this chains Privoxy to Polipo.  When this is active, all Yahoo!
searches now go to Yahoo!, which is not what I want.

So, what's the simplest, least complex and most robust way to fix this? 
If someone could additionally explain why Polipo interferes with Privoxy's
use of the /etc/host file in the first place, it'd be welcomed.

Thank you.

SQ.
