No, those statistics refer to Squid's "dnsserver" child processes. It
is these child processes that call the nameservers listed in
/etc/resolv.conf. That means I can know the frequency of the
"dnsserver" calls, but (as far as I know) not the name resolution
calls made *by* "dnsserver" to the nameservers.
