Can you try to add the next to your squid.conf: dns_v4_first on and see if it helps?

The DNS Servers in the corporate network dont resolve public adresses, and there is no routing to public adresses, the only way to access the internet is by the corporate firewall. At each bigger location weve got a squid proxy, at the moment Versions from 2.6 to 2.7 in different releases, running on Windows 2003 and 2008R2 Servers. These squids are configured with no dns Server entries, the underlying Windows machines of these proxys are configured with our corporate AD-DNS Servers. The clients (Windows 7 and 10) are getting their proxy settings for Internet Explorer and Firefox by GPO. These settings are the aliasname for the proxy and the port, which is 8080, and some proxy exclusions for corporate applications servers. The clients are members in an AD Domain and get there DNS Server entries by DHCP. The clients can successfully resolve the aliases and hostnames of the proxys to their ip-adresses an can communicate with them. These proxys, lets call them "old proxys" are working fine. To get rid of Server 2003 and squid 2.6/2.7, i installed a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS and Squid3.5, an rewrote the config from one of the old proxys, and basically, the proxy was functional, but all request are very, very, slow, like the proxy waits for some timeout at each request. To your second question, i am from germany, sorry, with "configure it" or "configure it not" i meant that i configured squid to use a dns server in the conf or not, and in the case of the operating system, had set a dns server to use, or not, in the network config of ubuntu. If you need further infos please ask, i am also preparing my configs (old / new) to post them here, but i have to anonymize them before posting, i think i can handle this until tomorrow.
