[squid-users] DNS queries on internal, never direct proxy

Hello,

I have an internal Squid 3.1.12 proxy which has no direct access to
any sites but instead forwards all request to a few external proxies
(also Squid 3.1.12).
To accomplish this, I have 4 cache_peers configured as parent and use
the "never_direct allow all" directive.

It mostly works as expected, but sniffing the network traffic, I see
it's trying to resolve, with iDNS via the DNS server configured in
/etc/resolv.conf, every request it handles.
Those DNS servers have no access to root servers or to the outside
world at all, so this proxy never gets a positive answer from the DNS.

How can I completely disable DNS queries on the internal proxy, and
let just the external proxies do the names resolution?

Thanks, Javier
