Beg to differ, slightly. Squid caches dns lookups by default.You can look at the configuration settings that look like dns_* as well finetune your setup using parameters like negative_ttl and positive_ttl.

By the way, does
squid cache name lookups as well?

Squid doesn't cache DNS look-ups, only HTTP and FTP requests (except if it's Linux and is running 'nscd'). It's adviseable to run a caching only name server on your Squid box, or direct the Squid box's '/etc/resolv.conf' to a fast, busy caching name server.

This will make a lot of difference if done right.
