Squid rarely sees https:// URLs like that. Check if it is being given
the server name in a way that it can lookup all IPs, or just the one
IP address.

It also depends on how long the connection attempt(s) take.
 If it takes longer to lookup the DNS (dns_timeout) and try that one
IP (connect_timeout * connect_retries) than the entire transaction is
permitted to use (forward_timeout), then there is of course no time to
try anything else.

Note also that the message in the ERR_CONNECT_FAIL page is the result
of the final attempt made. Squid may have made several connection
attempts to other IP which also failed.
