This directive is not available in the v8 version of Squid.

Option Name:	query_icmp
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value:	query_icmp off
Suggested Config:
If you want to ask your peers to include ICMP data in their ICP replies, enable this option. If your peer has configured Squid (during compilation) with '--enable-icmp' that peer will send ICMP pings to origin server sites of the URLs it receives. If you enable this option the ICP replies from that peer will include the ICMP data (if available). Then, when choosing a parent cache, Squid will choose the parent with the minimal RTT to the origin server. When this happens, the hierarchy field of the access.log will be “CLOSEST_PARENT_MISS”. This option is off by default.
