Option Name:	dead_peer_timeout
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value:	dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds
Suggested Config:
This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache as “dead.” If there are no ICP replies received in this amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers instead of to your parents.
