Configuration Details:

Option Name: forward_max_tries
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: forward_max_tries 25
Suggested Config:
Limits the number of attempts to forward the request. For the purpose of this limit, Squid counts all high-level request forwarding attempts, including any same-destination retries after certain persistent connection failures and any attempts to use a different peer. However, these low-level attempts are not counted: * connection reopening attempts (enabled using connect_retries) * unfinished Happy Eyeballs connection attempts (prevented by setting happy_eyeballs_connect_limit to 0) See also: forward_timeout, connect_retries, and %request_attempts.
