Hi
I have a 2 level setup
1-st level is local squid, eg. squid-office that forward all non-local traffic to 2-nd level squids.
2-nd level are 4 parent squid servers: squid1, squid2, squid3, squid4. (2 servers, 2 processes to use both cpu-s)
It would be nice to load-balance the parents and if one of the parents should go down then to make it more reliable.
---
One way might be to add to all 1-st level squids parents to squid-office.conf
cache_peer cache1 parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=2
cache_peer cache2 parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=1
....
Will this work with no-query?
---- Will the following do load-balancing and failover? (I saw something like this from Henrik-s homepage) DNS: cache A 192.168.2.1 #cache1 cache A 192.168.2.2 #cache2 and then to squid.conf cache_peer cache parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=1
