This is not a squid-related problem. I assume that the IP address of the
source server has changed and the caching name server still provided the
old entry to squid.
Another possibility is a corrupt DNS cache. Squid uses whatever DNS
information it gets from the name servers configured through the
operating system or optionally directly in squid.conf. You might want to
configure your provider's nameservers if you only need external name
resolution.

Hope this helps,
