I have the same problem, tough I don't remove my squid servers very often.I've partially resolved this problem thanks to the implementation ofthe algorithm of my load balancer.What it does, it's calculate the hash taking into account all thesquids in the pool, whether they're up or down. Then if the algorithmchooses a server that is down, then the calculation happens again. Soif one of my squids restarts, as soon as it starts again, it receivesthe same urls as before using disk cache instead of memory. What you also can try is to link all the squids toghether whith icp tocreate a sibling relationship between them. though I guess thehierarchical cache scenario would help you best to reduce the load inyour web servers.
