Without Squid code modifications, your options are:
* Use a custom DNS resolver (configuration) that never sends IPv4
address records to an IPv6-only Squid. Use a custom DNS resolver
(configuration) that never sends IPv6 address records to an IPv4-only
Squid. Configure each Squid to use the right resolver (see dns_nameservers).
* Disable IPv6 support in IPv4-only Squid at ./configure time. This does
not help with the IPv6-only Squid and has other negative side effects. I
do not recommend this option.

It would be possible to enhance Squid by adding a configuration option
that disables (certain) A or AAAA queries, but proper modifications are
not trivial and nobody has done them yet:
