precondition: Squid is up and running... If I changed the entry in /etc/resolv.conf then, Is there need to reload/reconfigure the squid?
Yes. Squid does not monitor the configuration files for changes. It's on the feature wishlist, but nobody has had enough interest to code up a small background ticker event to do the checks.
However, you can on most systems setup a trigger script that reconfigures Squid when the networking state changes (avoiding work constantly polling the files). You will need to lookup your system networking software documentation for how to do that. Also you may then need to always use the provided networking tools to change configuration, not just edit the config file with a text editor.
