Strange its should be.

Can you please provide me with a copy of your resolv.conf file and the
results of:
    squidclient mgr:idns

(Thats the command line tester/manager for Squid)

If thats not showing anythign unusual can you also provide the cache.log
output when running some of these failing requests?
  You will need to set "debug_options 78,9" in squid.conf to capture the
DNS actions during failure.

Thanks
