That's easy:
log_fqdn off

The only thing I can think of that *might* work is to tell squid to
send all requests to its parent cache:
cache_peer your.parent.cache parent 3128 3130 no-query
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow all
I don't know if that's enough to stop it from doing lookups before
forwarding the requests though. Give it a try and see what happens -
I'd test it myself if I had a machine to play with, but I can't play
with the squid config here at work without people getting upset :-p
You'll also want to start squid with `-D' to disable its initial dns
tests.
Cheers,
John
