Thanks to all for replies. Sorry i didn't mentioned the plateform I am using to run squid on which is freebsd 7. I have visited the linux-ha site, where it says the software is supported for freebsd too but their is no distribution for freebsd, so can u people tell me which distribution i can use for feebsd 7?
