dead_peer_timeout only affects how long to wait before declaring a
cache_peer server unavailable.

For DNS problems you want dns_timeout.

For slooww connection problems you want connect_timeout.

If either of the above is preventing Squid is not getting a chance to
attempt a working server (and you know its there), you want to increase
forward_timeout.

Um, 10 meg sounds like a familiar round number. Do you have a 10MB
network card or connection?
  When a link is overloaded the OS will drop packets, UDP is one of the
first to suffer packet loss. And DNS is done over UDP.
