Probably 5 would do. On a modern OS, the extra ones take up hardly any space
as code pages are shared between them. Look at the cache manager every so
often and check that the last 1 or 2 dnsservers in operation are never used
(!). This gives you margin for error. If they are used, increase the number.
The alternative is that squid blocks with DNS lookups which is very, very bad.
