configure squid with slow and fast parent

I have a squid hierarchy with one inner squid who forwardes the request
to two parent squids.
One parent is a fast, fat machine, the other is slow and should act as a
fallback.
It seems that the slow machine is getting too much requests.

How do I configure the inner proxy to send nearly all requests to the
fast machine as long as this one is up?

My current configuration:

inner proxy: 2.3.STABLE2
        cache_peer slow.proxy.at parent 1082 3130
        cache_peer fast.proxy.at parent 1082 3130 weight=30

fast parent: 2.3.STABLE2

slow parent: 1.1.20

thanks,
Peter
