There is no timeout. If the lookup has not finished before the request is
finished no domain will be logged.

You can make Squid wait for the lookup via http_access as done below.

The meaning of srcdomain can be found in the squid.conf documentation in
squid.conf.default, the Squid Users Guide and numerous other places if it
is not obvious from the name what the ACL matches..
