Not according to what i know,coffee?, or what the faq states
(http://www1.nl.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-12.html#ss12.3)
Since Squid 2.3, the default is to use internal DNS lookup code which is
implemented with the main squid process.
what you refer to is a situation whereby one doesnot want to rely on the
internal squid cache proces, and use external DNS lookups,with the
dnsserver, that is when you should use --disable-internal-dns
(http://squid.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/externals.htm#cache_dns_program)
comparisons between the internal and external dns clients,from the squid
process pov, can be found here

Beg to differ, slightly. Squid caches dns lookups by

Not really. The internal Squid caching application is
handled by a program known as 'dnsserver'. This
option/program is only made available if you enabled
'--disable-internal-dns' during Squid compile time.
