Squid will normally use the DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf, but since lynx
from the server works fine, that's probably not the problem. You could try
reversing the order in /etc/resolv.conf - maybe the first entry is bad, and
lynx moves on sooner than Squid. You could also check the dns_nameservers
parameter in squid.conf, though that usually isn't set.
