How are clients reaching this proxy? the relevance of DNS is directly 
impacted by that. Squid is a network service and DNS access is not 
optional for networked machines. Whether Squid needs that DNS to resolve 
public domains or not depends on the traffic arriving (how and what) and 
your exact configuration settings.

Success comes in both positive and negative forms. rcode-0 simply means 
no errors occured.

What do you mean exactly by "configure it" ?

Details are required if you want any useful help. The topic you are 
asking about is rather complex.
