You've disabled internal DNS so Squid should be using the 'dnsserver'
binary to do lookups. You can test it like this:

     echo www.google.es | ./dnsserver
     $addr 226 66.102.7.99 66.102.7.147 66.102.7.104

Thats what I get, which looks like it works.

If you look at dnsserver.cc you'll see a for-loop where Squid does
try up to three times to resolve the IP address.

If you have a repeatable case where dnsserver cannot resolve
www.google.es then its time to open a bug report I guess.
