[squid-users] Switch cache peer Parent server for every 30 minutes

Hi Alex,
I stopped the peerA(purposefully) and noticed that requests are failing
for the time slots that are going through peerA. I used
"connect-fail-limit" in cache_peer but it's not working. Is there any way
we can address this issue using the same solution considering how to handle
the requests if any of the parent peer goes down?
Thanks & Regards
Premchand .
