If a Parent goes down and up again

hello squidders,

        I have 3 non-icp parents with their echo (7)port enabled, i
noticed that when a parent goes down (marked as a dead parent), squid
never seems to check if it is up and running again. Does squid have an
idle time before it checks if a parent that went down is up and running
again?

        The 3 parents are using high bandwidth download only satellite
link which unfortunately runs on an NT/Win95 (the card manufacturer does
not have a driver for unix) which needs frequent reboots. This is the
reason why I would like squid to recheck a dead parent.

TIA
