Hello, I am successfully using Squid 2.6STABLE12 as a reverse proxy to several backend servers. Each backend web server is defined similar to this: cache_peer x.x.x.x parent 80 0 no-query originserver monitorurl=/squidcheck.php monitorinterval=15 round-robin login=PASS name=webX no-digest With round-robin load balancing sometimes a peer gets busier than others and takes longer to service queries, but Squid continues to give it the same number of connections. For instance right now I'm checking the Peer Cache Statistics and my connections are at 20/19/30/74. Browsing through squid.conf.default it would appear my only other option is "sourcehash" which would suffer from the same problems. Is there any way to balance based on least connections, or something else? Thanks, Sean -- Sean Walberg <sean@xxxxxxxx> http://ertw.com/
