no. Squid is a HTTP proxy. it's not a DNS proxy.
use DNS server or DNS proxy for that.

Squid cannot, but you can use an external DNS server, either at the same location or elsewhere. You can setup another server (or two) with your own DNS (we use PowerDNS or pDNS), and then add the entry in squid.conf to use that DNS server. We have several setup this way.

The squid.conf entry would be like this:

dns_nameservers 11.22.33.44 11.22.33.45

Then on the DNS server just create entries for rerouted or blocked sites. I would suggest looking at the powerdns groups and mailing list for more details on this.
