It should be a good feature request that the Squid DNS client supports eDNS
eDNS can be used to send the source client IP address received by Squid to a remote DNS.

Does Squid even have it's own DNS "" / lookup mechanism?

I naively assumed that Squid simply used the system's name resolution capabilities, be that DNS, /etc/hosts, or even NIS(+).

As such, I would be shocked if there is any plumbing to pass additional information; e.g. down stream proxy client, to influence how the name resolution happens.

Maybe I'm wrong.  Hopefully I'll learn something from how others respond.

In this case the DNS will be able to change its behavior depending on the source IP address.

I take that to mean that DNS will change it's behavior based on the EDNS0 Client Subnet information. Because DNS will still see Squid as the client of the DNS query.

Aside: There's a chance that the -- as I understand it -- suggested /24 aggregation of E.C.S. will not be granular enough to provide the OP's desired result.

N.B. the E.C.S. interactions that I've had have used /24 or larger subnets to protect client identity.
