continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
+ This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
+ replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
+ passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
+ expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
+ your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
+ will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
+ instead of to your parents.
