Re: uninteruptable proxy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



peoples in my organization do online bidding, and if browsing
interrupt/disconnect for any reason(e.g hardware failure) and restore
within a 50 or 60 seconds.. their session terminate/disconnect, and they
lost.

I think with any normal proxy server if the client terminates a session or times out the proxy, too, will terminate the session.

I suspect you are using the wrong terminology: what you need is not a highly available proxy service, i.e. a proxy suited to heavy load and with a very low downtime, rather a _persistent_ proxy. I'm not sure whether that's the exact industry term but I'm pretty convinced "highly available proxy" is not what you need.

If anyone here can tell you about a persistent proxy--that is, a proxy that keeps track of sessions and keeps them alive even if clients time out--then you'll be golden. I for one don't have knowledge of such software.

we need uninteruptable web/proxy services. we need Highly Available
Proxy Infrastructure/Services

what are the possible solutions

does following are the options
1, Clustering Squid (I think session will break)
2, Clustering two virtual machines, and virtual machines are running
Squid, so if one host machine downs/crash, the other host machine
continue running squid (I think in this case, session wont break,
because the other host machine will run the same squid)

please suggest/recommend
