Samba should not be the reason for this ! If Squid can't resolve
hostnames,
then something is broken with your DNS (bind)
Which hostnames can't be resolved (inter or intranet ?)
Which Version of squid do you use ?
(the latest doesn't have a seperate dnsserver process anymore)
If not the latest, check (whith ps -aux | grep dns) if the
dnsservers are still running.
