I verified that the squid cache is not using it's own dns resolution
for the clients browsing, instead it is relying on the client's dns
resolution. I verified that the squid cache is able to do dns
resolution. Is there an option that I need to enable in the
squid.conf so that the cache will do dns resolution? Is there
something else I need to install for this?
TIA

setting up the cache to do dns resolution and not to use the clients
dns resolution.

'it' referring to what?
When using a proxy clients rarely ever do DNS lookups themselves.

Oh. You can:
enable the DNS section of debug logging in cache.log and watch the DNS
lookups in progress.
tcpdump/wireshark the data stream and see who is doing lookup for
domains.
log on the local networks DNS server to see who is looking up what
when.
(in recent squid) look in squids access.log to see where its
requesting
traffic from for any given request.
use 'squidclient mgr:ipcache" to see what squid has resolved each
domain to.
