Hi,
i've 2 squid servers running in as a convencional proxy. i use only
one for requests, and i want to use the other to built a
failover,(when the first go down, the second go up. While the first
is running, the second isn't). How configure it?
Thanks,
Sara
This depends entirely on what OS you are using, and is not a Squid
function per-se.

Ok, i'm using SuSe ES, v.10, and... i dn't undestand what's a Squid
function per-se???

What I meant was, Squid doesn't have any fail over capabilities
natively. If one of your servers dies, and the other takes over, it
won't hand off transport streams or anything like that. Current
connections will be dropped.
Look into "high availability linux" or "linux virtual servers" for the
fail over component. Ultra Monkey L7
(http://ultramonkey-l7.sourceforge.jp/index_en.html) might even be able
to handle the seamless hand off of transport streams...
