if your masquerading is working okay, then i suppose your
clients are able to ping ip addresses on the internet
like 206.168.0.9 for 'www.squid-cache.org'.

all you need to do in this case is set up your clients to use
your isp's dns server. port 53 is required to be open then
on your firewall.

another option is setting up bind on your gateway machine
and have it forward all the request to your isp's name server.
