Hi Andres,
It's not a load issue, normally, the reason people would want to change
the source address is to load balance links (in this kinda of setup) If
you want to rotate the IP's "just because" then so be it :)
I would still suggest thou, that you run multiple squids on the box and
rotate between them, since tcp_outgoing_address has no ACL control (that
might be a feature request - Devs ? )
Like I said before, I will be publishing quite a bit of the work I did for
this type of setup, but if you decide to go with this option, I can share
the squid configs ahead of time.
Cheers,
Pieter

Hello,
I actually have about 100 IPs. Squid can handle the load without
problem i just need to rotate the IPs for all users every hour the
tcp_outgoing_address ?
I really dont have any idea on how to do this, any example would be
much appreciated.

Hi Andres,
I am assuming you want to do this for a Load Balance setup. I also doubt
that you have 12 (or even 24) upstream connections. I would simply suggest
that you run one main squid, assign some ACLs to it based on time and 2 or
more "parent proxies". Those parent proxies can run on the same machine,
with little cache and memory, and they carry the other IPs in their own
configs. That way, there is no reconfigure etc.
I have 4 squids running on one box for this purpose - details will be posted
to here once the solution is in production :)
Cheers,
Pieter

Subject: Change tcp_outgoing_address every hour, best way to
do this?
Hello,
Iam wanting to pass the option of tcp_outgoing_address when I run the
command to refresh or reload the config file. This so that every hour
I can rorate with a cron the IP that squid uses to browse the
internet.
Is this possible? Or is there a better way then to create dozens of
config files with the only difference being the IP?
Andres
