no, Kevin's right. squid has its own built-in caching dns resolver, and
since it's a client it shows up on a different port every time. It seems
the only way to turn it off is to disable squid's internal resolver and
use an external one, but that's a whole new can of worms.

As I said, icp can be turned off with "icp_port 0", as noted in the
squid.conf comments. It uses udp port 3130 by default.
