Sounds like a job for perl. Write a script that will occationally
ping both external proxies and if one goes down the script can modify
the hosts file (on both internal proxies) to accomodate.

Hello,
My squid architecture is composed of two internal squid proxies and
two external
squid parents located in a dmz , all of them on the same physical
site.
Internal proxies are in charge of authenticating the users (NTLM/
AD) and routing
to intranets. or to external proxies for internet traffic.
External proxies are in charge of treating the requests received
from the
internal proxies to internet.
Client <-> two internal proxies <-> firewall <-> two external
proxies <->
internet
I would like to implement something that makes my internal proxy
detect that a
parent is down, and so forward the requests to the other exernal
proxy.
problem when one of my external proxy crash.
Do you have any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
