As far as I recall* it's a vanilia squid install so it 
should be caching dns entries. So the chain looks like 
this

     browser->squid->[dnsmasq,named]->router->ISP->(cloud)

all of which cache dns entries.  I don't have any problems 
with this setup except that it takes negative responses 
about 15 min to clear if the chain gets broken.

*I set squid and squidGuard up about 5 years ago when I 
had dialup.  Like most things on linux, once you get them 
running, they stay running and you forget about them.
