name resolving should be done by squid itself if your clients browser uses
it, so your clients on isolan should not query for www.google.de at all (if
i got your setup right)

do you restrict the domains you allow to be accesses by squid?
something like:

acl GOODDOMAINS dstdomain .google.com
http_access allow GOODDOMAINS
http_access deny all

if so, did you add .google.com and not only google.com to the acl?
also note that specifying .google.com AND www.google.com can produce
unwanted outcomes, see the faqs, and look for acl/splaying tree

sincerly,
