We have a DNS guru on staff and editing the resolv.conf in this manner does not work (we tested it to make sure). Looks like we are using an older desktop to setup a basic DNS server and then point squid to redirect.

I was originally thinking of modifying the resolv.conf but again that is
internal DNS used by the server itself. The users will have their own
DNS settings causing it to either ignore our settings, or right back to
the "Website cannot be displayed" errors due to the DNS loop.
resolv.conf would work, or you can use dns_nameservers in squid.conf and
point just squid (if you want) to a private resolver configured to hand
out the forcesafesearch address.

When a proxy is used, the client defers name resolution to the proxy, you
don't need to change DNS on client machines to do this.
