This depends on the validity of the DNS entries. Not sure if nscd obeys these in any situation. You can setup a DNS correctly to change rapidly (as can be seen with any DNS redirecting service for dialup IPs).
I have the host nameservers set in /etc/resolv.conf as:
nameserver 213.171.xxx.xxx

nameserver 213.171.xxx.xxx

search localdomain

squid must use those as I have not set any nameserver= in the squid.conf
Then nscd would be out of the game; if the problem goes away after restarting nscd, squid obviuosly uses this DNS server either via localhost or via the IP address of the machine. What nameservers are configured in the nscd config?
