You have to make your Squid not depend on any DNS lookups to forward
the request to your parent.

A squid configured to unconditionally forward all requests to a parent
does not depend on DNS lookups (other than for the address of the
parent)

Note: you probably need to start Squid with the -D option to disable
the DNS sanity check on startup.
