[squid-users] Unwanted DNS queries

Hi,

today, some users complained about poor respons time of the webproxy.
Searching for a possible reason, I found, that the proxy makes a DNS
request (mostly AAAA but also A) for every http request. We are behind a
firewall and resolving internet names is impossible, we have to use
parent proxies to reach the internet and I thought, I configured squid
that way (config at the end of the mail). When I saw the DNS queries, my
first guess was a dst-ACL, but there are no dst-ACLs.

I recorded some traffic at the proxy and looked inside with wireshark,
for every http request the proxy queries both it's nameservers for the
IP(v6) of the destination host and after these queries failed the http
request ist forwarded to the parend proxy, the content ist fetched from
web and delivered to the client.

Last week, I made some changes to the logformat, but switching back to
the original format did not stop the DNS queries.

Where is the error in my config, what causes the DNS queries?

Thanks in advance
Thomas
