I would set up a included squid.conf snippet with 24 tcp_outgoing_address settings (one per hour, selected by acl) and update this file nightly to assign a new set of IP addresses for the next day. generate_random_outgoing.sh #!/bin/sh top=`dirname $0` HOUR=0 cat $1 | sort -R | while [ $HOUR -lt 24 ] && read ip; do printf "acl hour_%d time %02d:00-%02d:59\n" $HOUR $HOUR $HOUR printf "tcp_outgoing_address %s hour_%d\n" $ip $HOUR HOUR=`expr $HOUR + 1` done Usage: generate_random_outgoing.sh /path/to/file_with_ipaddresses.txt >/path/to/etc/squid/random_outgoing.conf squid -k reconfigure and in squid.conf include /path/to/etc/squid/random_outgoing.conf Regards Henrik
