I don't think it's DNS. This is a listening port. You don't need a
listening port to do DNS queries (unless I'm badly mistaken).

Note the actual (Linux) command for anyone else who wants to see if squid has
a port open and listening on their machine is:

netstat -n -p --inet -a

May want to pipe the results through less (or more).
