You should think of a mechanism for daemons to get notified about
changes in resolv.conf. Like providing a function to register a script
and a list of arguments (like the PID of the program to
notify). Whenever the resolv.conf changes all currently registered
scripts would be called with their respective arguments.
The simplest form would be:
resolv.conf-register /etc/init.d/squid reload
That would make squid to reload its config each time a nameserver is
added or removed.
