Thank you. I picked up this part of log as  evidence that Squid does conduct 
DNS lookups AFTER a peer connection is selected( log ommited). In the 
configuration, a cache peer (parent proxy) for specified domains presents.




And the relative part of config is already provided in some other thread of 
this post. TY

The above debugging log snippet is unrelated to ACLs checking/code.

Squid says that it needs to resolve a.b.c.d to connect to a peer at that 
a.b.c.d address. If a.b.c.d is alerady an IP address, then that 
resolution is going to be a no-op -- no actual DNS queries will be sent.

I do not know what triggers other DNS queries in your case. If I have to 
guess, I would guess that peer selection algorithm finds multiple ways 
to satisfy that CONNECT-to-X request and some of those ways include a 
direct connection to X, triggering X resolution.

FWIW, the above version is not supported by the Squid Project.
