Peer cache connect problem

Hi,

I am facing the following problems using squid2.2.xxx

1) I get in cache log

1999/10/17 12:53:25| TCP connection to 192.168.1.2/3130 failed
1999/10/17 12:53:25| TCP connection to 192.168.1.2/3130 failed
1999/10/17 12:53:25| TCP connection to 192.168.1.2/3130 failed
1999/10/17 12:53:55| TCP connection to 192.168.1.2/3130 succeeded

The connect failure is only because the parent sometime in under extra
load but squid waits for 30 seconds and as I not want squid to go direct
I have enabled never_direct allow all and squid stops serving clients
for 30 seconds. Can this 30 second timeout be reduced to 5 seconds or
so.

2) I get very often and the site is not served to the client.

1999/10/17 02:39:11| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname 'one&only'

why & , ; are treated invalid characters, can this behaviour be changed
and squid should accept these characters ?

Thanks.
