i have gotten the above error and found this answer from the archive.

From Henrik (Thanks Henrik):

The above error message is likely caused by an overloaded DNS server, or
when there is a major Internet network breakdown. Try running a caching
DNS server on the same machine as Squid to take some load off your other
DNS server.
