I am using squid 2.6 STABLE-6 with RedHat Linux Enterprise 5.x
My ISP has 5 proxy servers.
But sometimes they down often
If the first proxy is down, I want squid to switch to second proxy etc ....
I have configure squid as below
============== squid.conf ========================
cache_peer 202.1.1.4 parent 8080 3130 no-query no-digest
cache_peer 202.1.1.5 parent 8080 3130 no-query no-digest
cache_peer 202.1.1.6 parent 8080 3130 no-query no-digest
cache_peer 202.1.1.7 parent 8080 3130 no-query no-digest
peer_connect_timeout 3 seconds
================= end of squid.conf ================
If first proxy down, it really try to detect next proxy server.
BUT IT TRY FOR ABOUT TEN TIMES. Please see cache.log for details
BUT I WANT TO TRY ABOUT 4 TIMES as maximum
HOW CAN I DO THAT.
Because of I have setup cache_peer_timeout=3 seconds, it takes
30-seconds to try for a proxy.
If first 4 proxy down and the last server is active, it takes 2-minutes.
But my Internet Cafe users cannot wait up to 2-3 minutes and they go out.
Note: If i set peer_connect_timeout less than 3 seconds, it does not work well
Check your maximum_single_addr_tries is still at its default '1'.
That seems to be the closest squid has so far to a connect-retry counter.

Any Suggestion are welcomed.
