* Cleanup of connect & dns timeouts etc
synopsis Several minor errors related to how Squid finds a
connection where to forward requests. This patch
o Adds a new configuration parameter "forward_timeout"
to control how long Squid tries to find a method to
find a path where to forward the request before
giving up. Defaults to 2 minutes.
o The default connect_timeout tuned down from 2 minutes
to 1 minute to allow for two attempts to find a
suitable path within the forward_timeout
o fqdncache/ipcache restructured to allow for DNS code
to allow the queried name to be logged in cache.log
on errors.
o negative_dns_ttl now overloaded to also specify the
minimum ttl used when caching DNS responses, and
tuned down from 5 minutes to 1 minute.
o default dns_timeout tuned down from 5 minutes to
2 minutes
o some minor compilation warnings on
--disable-internal-dns corrected
o properly report DNS timeouts as timeouts and not just
"No DNS records"
