Quite a few of use has been bitten by it, check dead_peer_timeout in
squid.conf. It's defaulting to 10 seconds, meaning if your squid hasn't
heard of a peer in 10 seconds, it won't use it. For us with very light
loads, i.e. very few users, so 10 seconds without a query is quite a
common, it means squid will always try to go direct for the first query
after a longer pause. You might want to up it for maybe a hour, or so,
it worked wonders for me.. Still, I don't quite like it this way :)
