Using UDP-echo to see if the server is running is very unreliable. It
justs tests that the host is running, not the web server..

I recommend using the peer monitor functionality instead. I.e. something
like

cache_peer webserver1 parent 80 0 no-query originserver connect-timeout=3 monitorurl=http://your.web.site/some/url monitorsize=min-max monitorinterval=10
