I've been thinking about this earlier, and I think squid should be a very easy application for both active/passive and active/active clustering. The way I would do it is to run both your hosts with squid active at all times, probably also with them being siblings so that they can cooperate with their caches. Have hearthbeat from linux-ha.org manage the ip-addresses so that when all is OK, you have: host1 = 10.0.0.1 host2 = 10.0.0.2 and if host1 dies, host2 takes over it's ip-address: host1 = dead host2 = 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 I would probably also do round-robin-dns over these two addresses. -jf
