Quick search in the archives, -found this:
Squid-2.2 uses your OS gethostbyname() call, which in most
configurations reads /etc/hosts before DNS, but can usually be
controlled via /etc/nsswitch.conf or a similar file.
Squid-2.3 defaults to use an internal DNS client implementation, talking
directly to your DNS server.
Squid-2.4 too defaults to using an internal DNS client, but reads
/etc/hosts on startup (I think, or maybe this is only in Squid-2.5?).
If you prefer the old Squid-2.2 method for DNS lookups then Squid-2.3+
can be "downgraded" to the old mechanism by building it with
--disable-internal-dns.
