Also, redirecting all the DNS records to Squid will break everything 
that isn't http/https since there will be nothing on the squid server to 
handle that traffic.

It doesn't sound like a great idea to me - why not just redirect 
http/https traffic at the gateway (TPROXY) instead of mangling DNS?
