Re: [squid-users] Squid marks alive siblings as dead.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. I tried adding:

icp_query_timeout 5000
dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds

To my configs, but this just resulted in it taking longer for the
instance to mark the sibling as dead. I'm assuming, however, that
icp_query_timeout does absolutely nothing for htcp queries?

As a side-note, if I run the same neighbours as ICP, they work
correctly; unfortunately, this isn't really a valid option for me, as
pretty much everything we cache varies on headers.

Thanks!
Tony
