 That depends , you are leaving many parameters unspecified :
 
   - Which version of squid are you using ?
   - On which platform/os/version ?

   - How is your DNS setup, are you using internal or external DNS ?
   - Which are your DNS servers ?
   - Are they working reliable ?

   - Any DNS errors of squid before or during normal operation in
cache.log ?
   - Use DNS stats in squid's cachemgr to observer potention problems
     (DNS request queues )
