[squid-users] Connect directly if parent cache fails

Hi

I'm trying to configure Squid (3.1.9) to connect directly, if the one
and only cache_peer (parent) fails:

cache_peer xx.xx.xx.xx parent 8080 0 no-query
no-digest default connect-fail-limit=5
prefer_direct off
never_direct allow all

But squid will never connect directly, even if the parent isn't
available. How can I implement this?

Thanks a lot.
