Hi Ian/Group,
Might not be the best way, but run <number of ips>+1 instances of squid,
bind all of them to one IP each. The "spare" instance then uses these as
upstream proxies all with the same weight. I dont think you can set it
to random, but you will get pretty close :)
Hope this helps,
Pieter

Yeah, the client connections are coming from one data link. The
outbound connections are on another, but there's 4 IPs on that

do you have any suggestions, tips, or links to help me with configuration?
cheers,

Hi!
I have done this kind of stuff using mainly SNAT rules (iptables on
Linux), but as for squid itself.. dunno.
Why do they want to use the 5 IPs?, are these from one single data link?.
If they are trying to load balance across different links, the
configuration is more complicated (but still possible, and have probed
to work very well for me).
c-ya!

I've been asked to configure a squid proxy for a small business. My
client wants me to configure squid on a server with a block of 5 IPs,
and do it in a way that outbound requests are, for lack of a better
term, load-balanced across the servers own IP block. I guess kind of
anonymizing which IP the requests are coming from. Is there any way
of doing this? I know i can set certain protocols to go out certain
IPs, but how do I randomize it? If I can't randomize it, is there a
way to control it from the client without running several instances of
squid on the server?
Thanks in advance,
Ian
