Triple check your always_direct/never_direct rules. If the request is
forced to not go direct (always_direct deny, never_direct allow) then
Squid will either send the request to a parent or reject the request.

Also, Squid insists on at least one DNS server being defined even if not
used, and does not use /etc/nsswitch.conf.
