[squid-users] Should access internet through 3 parents with wingates, and never_direct

Dear sirs.
i have 3 pc with download
satellites. satellite cards works only on windows that is
why i cannot use squid there. i'm using wingate without
caching.
 after these 3 pcs ,1 with squid on linux so that it will
take
from the 3 servers with download satellite, cache and give
my clients. squid is configure to never direct requests.
but whenever one of the servers loose
connection or went down or delayed for a 1 min or
something. Squid became very very slow, and nothing helps
until i remove the cache_peer from the conf file for the
ill pc will download sate. , and restarts it.
in cache.log it says that, tcp connection to 10.20.38.6/80
failed (one of my servers with satellite)
after repeating 2 min it says Detected Dead parent:
10.20.38.6/80/7 ) and during these messsages and after that
squid works very slow until i restart it
any suggestions with that.
Thank you.
 
squid.conf
