> squid dont care what is your connection line (a dialup or a Lan

This is not true. If you use your IPs DNS then squid won't be able to resolve
the DNS of the proxy if it is started up when you are not on-line. It will
try a number of times but eventually give up. From cache.log:

At this point the log files show that squid will stop accessing the ISPs cache.
