Or you could use lower connection timeouts for your peers to speed up
the dead peer detection on link failures. A few seconds timeout should
be sufficient for any decent peer connection. Squid-2.2 patch
implementing this is available from my Squid page, or wait for
Squid-2.3.

You shouldn't need to use ICP it it is only for monitoring if the peer
is alive. TCP connections does that job just fine.
