the proxy server needs to have the DNS IP addresses of whatever DNS server it uses... usually this would be your ISP's DNS server IPs... you don't HAVE to run a DNS daemon on the proxy... you can have the hosts on your LAN use your ISP's DNS servers if you want, by using SNAT/MASQUERADE (iptables)...
