Linux LVS works very well for this situtation.
We once had 200 squid hosts and use 2 LVS hosts before them.
LVS run with DR or Tunneling mode.
Was this in a forward proxy or an acceleration setup?
If it was a forward set up, given that a lot of SSL sites don't like
the requesting IP to change (and I assume in anything but a LVS-NAT
setup the individual Squids make connections from individual real IP
addresses), how did you go about "encouraging" a client's connections
towards a single back end? From what I've read, the load balancing
methods focus on round-robin and least-load. Or do you just SNAT the
requests Squid makes?

I hate replying to myself, but a little bit of reading would have
prevented me from asking this question in the first place...
