Andy, you're setup looks plausible, i have little experience with carp (i use them for firewalls and the fw' sessions get sync pretty well on both machines) my only question would how will carp be able to tell the sessions initiated/managed by squid? all of them will come in through port 3128 right? and carp will just sync that on the other box. once the query is processed it's being handled entirely by squid, But I might be wrong as well. anyways, I would recommend to just do DNS round-robin on both squid boxes. my .2cents -beavis On Jan 9, 2008 9:20 AM, Andy McCall <Andy.McCall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > A few weeks ago I posted a message on this list about setting up two squid-caching-only servers for two WebMarshal content-checking-only servers for around 120 school.

I was then going to configure two CARP interfaces on them, e.g. 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. A single DNS entry for squid-proxy.domain.gov.uk will point to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 and the squid cache's will be set up as cache_peer's of each other. > > Can anyone think of any issues I will have with this set up, or can anyone think of anything else that will help my setup? > > Thanks, > > Andy McCall > Senior Technical Officer > -- > ICT & Printing, The Unity Partnership... > ...working with Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council > Civic Centre > West Street > Oldham > OL1 1UU > -- > Telephone: 0161 770 8814 > Fax: 0161770 3998 > Email: andy.mccall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- > > ********************************************************************** > The information in this e-mail is confidential and may be legally privileged. > It is intended solely for the addressee.
