Is the parent listening to the ICP port?

If the parent is multihomed, make sure you configure your squid to send
requests to the base address of the closest interface on the server, or
configure the parent with udp_incoming_address to only listen to ICP
queries on one IP address.

How much traffic does your proxy have? If it is light (seconds between
each request) then you may want to try one of my patches which changes
how Squid determines if a ICP peer is dead or not. See
