Just a thought.
Check that negative_ttl is set to 0 seconds (default when unset on older
squid was 5 minutes which is suspiciously similar) and that
negative_dns_ttl is at least 10 seconds (or unset for default).

Also check that they are actually being generated by your own squid, your
upstream ISP may be having trouble with an old transparent proxy.
