If you do not have DNS access, then you must start Squid with the -D
command line option to disable the built in check that verifies DNS
accessibility...
You must also configure a cache_peer where to Squid can forward the
requests, and use the never_direct directive to tell Squid that it must
not attempt to go directly to the destination no matter what.
The --disable-internal-dns configure option is not strictly required,
only thing is that if you have not used it then you must give Squid at
least one IP to a "DNS server" (a faked one is fine, such as 127.0.0.1).
