See the connect_timeout parameter.
     

 

This doesn't seem to be the right knob, does it?
   



Right, but close ;-) it allows you to make Squid return the error 
quicker...

Squid already retries a couple of times before the error is given to the
client. What should be done is that Squid waits a little before it retries
the same host.
 

This would be an excellent addition. I hope the devs realize that. Think 
squid over a low quality modem line in ex-USSR with frequent disconnects 
(*sigh*).
