It really depends on your situation, but I personally feel the more
caching, the better. Have a local instance of BIND (or djbdns or
dnsmasq) which uses the upstream name server as a forwarder. For what
it's worth, Squid does its own internal DNS caching as well (see
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ipcache_size/,
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/positive_dns_ttl/ and
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/negative_dns_ttl/)
