It's not time, it's 10 requests forwarded to the peer. The more traffic you have the faster this is, but when testing with a single user it may feel slow. There is three things you can do a. Tune down the connect timeout. Can be set either globally or per peer. This speeds up detection when a host is shut down. b. Enable retry_on_error making Squid automatically try the next possible path on failure. c. Enable the per-peer monitorurl feature (not yet available in Squid-3) telling Squid to actively monitor the health of the peer. All can be combined freely. Regards Henrik
