What did access.log say?

Is this a normal proxy config, or are you using transparent interception?

This indicates the URL was sent to Squid a web server, not proxy.. so
someone thought your Squid is the www.google.com web server.

For it to be DNS the DNS server needs to return the wrong IP address, not
a failure.

Is there any difference if you set your browser to use the Squid proxy
port?

No. If the DNS lookup failed your Squid returns an error saying so.
