  'Internal DNS' refers to whether SQUID uses an external process
for performing DNS lookups or not.
Hence , in that context speaking of DNS on a separate machine is meaningless
since SQUID needs to do DNS lookups in order to be able to 'work'.

DNS servers used however, are (indeed) specified in /etc/resolv.conf.

In normal circumstances, using internal DNS (the default) will be work
just fine.
