Great idea. What is the best way for me to check from one linux server to another if the squid.pid file exists?

In viewing the logs it shows that the proxies are being used randomly (in a load balance way) with the router, which is cool but im seeing some issues with SmartFilter transparency doing that. Is there a way through wccp config in squid or on the cisco gear to only use one cache until it goes down then use the other? > > All WCCP requests should go to one of the 2 configured wccp enabled squid caches until it goes down, then then other takes the requests. > > Thanks, > Nick > > > I'm not aware of any way to stop the Cisco gear from doing a round-robin hit on all cache engines detected. I would probably look at having your standby squid server poll your active squid server to see if running, and if fails execute a script to fire up squid services. hth -Ryan
