'Internal DNS' refers to whether SQUID uses an external process for performing DNS lookups or not. Hence , in that context speaking of DNS on a separate machine is meaningless since SQUID needs to do DNS lookups in order to be able to 'work'.
DNS servers used however, are (indeed) specified in /etc/resolv.conf. In normal circumstances, using internal DNS (the default) will be work just fine. M.
