Hi!
I use Squid for years now as loadbalancer and accelerator.
Lately our ISP decided to replace the whole IP range we use. To ease 
transition we were given a two months period in which the old and new 
IPs are working the same time.
As soon as we start using the second IP on our proxy server, and restart 
squid to bind to the new interface too, squid serves some requests, then 
  decides that the originservers are gone.
cache_peers are apache2 webservers so instead of ICP requests they got 
udp echo requests. They get some UDP packages (checked with tcpdump), 
but when they disappear, they do not get echo requests, and they wont 
come back.
If I replace the 7 (udp echo) with 0 for ICP port in the cache_peer 
line, squid works, but do not notice weather the server is up&running or 
not.
I use: Squid 2.6.5 (default Debian/Etch binary)
config and log is attached.
If I need to provide anything else, please let me know!
Detailed (debug) logs shows, that the first few requests have parents:
2007/06/28 13:44:23| peerGetSomeParent: GET www.aexample.com
2007/06/28 13:44:23| peerSelect: FIRST_UP_PARENT/Y.Y.Y.Y
2007/06/28 13:44:23| peerAddFwdServer: adding Y.Y.Y.Y FIRST_UP_PARENT
2007/06/28 13:44:23| peerAddFwdServer: adding Y.Y.Y.Y ANY_PARENT
2007/06/28 13:44:23| peerAddFwdServer: adding Y.Y.Y.X ANY_PARENT
[...]
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerSelectFoo: 'GET www.example.com'
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerSelectFoo: direct = DIRECT_NO
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerDigestLookup: peer Y.Y.Y.Y
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerDigestLookup: gone!
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerDigestLookup: peer 81.2.252.112
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerDigestLookup: gone!
2007/06/28 13:44:26| neighborsDigestSelect: choices: 0 (0)
2007/06/28 13:44:26| peerNoteDigestLookup: peer <none>, lookup: LOOKUP_NONE
Thanks in advance!
