[squid-users] Dead peer detection problem

In our sceanrio, there is one squid server which reverse proxies connection to two other in a sequential (NOT load balanced) oder.

When one peer is down there seems to be a problem with the dead peer detection, the logfile access.log shows, that the peer is dead but tries again to contact him. This causes deleays in establishing the connections.

Also, although configured exactly like the first squid, the second seems to have ssl errors:

2013/03/11 09:45:25| fwdNegotiateSSL: Error negotiating SSL connection on FD 13: error:1408C095:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_FINISHED:digest check failed (1/0/0)

Any ideas?
