I don't think it's the IPs which are the problem.

Since DNS admin started getting paranoid about recursive resolvers this
year it's become common to see recursive resolvers which are unable to
recurse CNAME results properly.

It looks to me like www.symantec.com chains through two CNAME domains (
www.symantec.com -> www.symantec.d4p.net ->
symantec.georedirector.akadns.net ) in order to retrieve those IPs. Squid
depends on the DNS resolver to do any such recursion.
nslookup and such tools will often 'helpfully' do the recursion themselves
when the DNS resolver fails.
