RE: [squid-users] Squid without any DNS?

All he needs to be careful of is that he isn't using any ACL's that he has
that require DNS (ie don't use things like dstdomain or srcdomain ) and
that of course his cache_peer is not set to a hostname. Something along
the lines of a 'never-direct allow all' will also be required to force all
his requests upstream. His own proxy should then not require DNS for
anything as requests are passed straight up..

The -D option to start squid to disable initial DNS lookups will also be
required too.
