The internal DNS resolver requires at least one DNS server IP to be
configured.

The external resolver do not care, as it then is using whatever name
resolving methods your OS is using.

Alternative A:

   Add the following to squid.conf to fool Squid:

   dns_nameservers 127.0.0.1

Alternative B:

   Rebuild Squid with --disable-internal-dns
