Sounds like your Squid has not picked up the correct DNS settings, or that
something is preventing DNS from working on your proxy server.

Can you successfully look up DNS names using dig on the proxy server?

Also try restarting Squid. Squid picks up the DNS settings on startup and
if these was changed (by DHCP or whatever) after Squid was started Squid
will still attempt to use the old DNS settings.
