Hi,
I'm trying to test the CARP load balancing.

But the documentation seems to be bugged.
<snip>
The only supported parametter in the cache_peer parsing directive seems
to be 'carp' not 'carp-load-factor'.
The authoritative documentation provided appears to be correct.
Looks like the docs you are using were written for squid 2.5
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/cfgman/cache_peer.html
Also from the source: void carpInit(void)
"carp.c" 193 lines --49%--
/* and load factor */
p->carp.load_factor = ((double) p->weight) / (double) W;
it seems to me, that the load_factor is in fact, calculated from peer
weight?
Yes. carp-load-factor has been obsoleted by the weight= option since 2.6.

More specifically, since 2.6 STABLE 16. See
