I doubt that it is an inherent problem with Squid. I have no problems
accessing http://www.denic.de through my Squid configuration.

One problem that you need to resolve is why you are being returned an
authoritative answer with NXDOMAIN. On your Squid box, try using

        dig www.denic.de +debug

to determine why you are getting an authoritative response.
