This answer is incorrect because Squid has its own DNS cache.

Squid pays attention to DNS record TTLs. I believe there are several
bugs in that code, but, in many cases, Squid will not cache the answer
for less than negative_dns_ttl and for longer than the minimum of the
received TTL and positive_dns_ttl. DNS answers may be purged from the
Squid DNS cache for reasons other than TTL, of course.

One can increase effective TTL in Squid DNS cache by increasing
negative_dns_ttl. Whether one _should_ do that is a different question
that I cannot answer in general.
