Your answer is probably that you do not have anything defined in DNS_SERVERS variable in your snort.conf file.

Please post your C:\snort\etc\snort.conf file, but I suspect if you edit the line that probably says:

ipvar DNS_SERVERS

to something like

ipvar DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET

It will work, or at least it will get further along your initialization process
