You can only append one domain. Squid should make use of the
/erc/resolv.conf suffix *unless* append_domain has been configured,
which *replaces* the resolv.conf "domain" value with the squid.conf value.

/etc/resolv.conf is the better way since it offers both a "domain" to
append and an alternative "search" list with multiple domains to search
for resoluts in the order given. And all other software such as host /
nslookup, wget etc all use /etc/resolve.conf - it helps administration
to have everything on the box operating similarly.
