I'm using a squid cluster with CARP configured, they works great. I'm not sure if all the CARP frontend distributed URLs based on the _same_ hash value, here's result queried by squidclient: 16:00:25 ~ $ for i in 66 67 68 71; do ask_squid $i carp | grep -A7 Hostname; done Hostname Hash Multiplier Factor Actual 150.164.100.65 d6945438 1.000000 0.142857 0.459355 150.164.100.69 89857dc5 1.000000 0.142857 0.212488 150.164.100.70 239c90ac 1.000000 0.142857 0.161517 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.153253 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.004496 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.004460 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.004431 Hostname Hash Multiplier Factor Actual 150.164.100.65 d6945438 1.000000 0.142857 0.348483 150.164.100.69 89857dc5 1.000000 0.142857 0.272565 150.164.100.70 239c90ac 1.000000 0.142857 0.184725 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.151390 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.014509 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.014176 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.014151 Hostname Hash Multiplier Factor Actual 150.164.100.65 d6945438 1.000000 0.142857 0.309244 150.164.100.69 89857dc5 1.000000 0.142857 0.257143 150.164.100.70 239c90ac 1.000000 0.142857 0.206424 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.209645 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.005738 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.005962 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.005844 Hostname Hash Multiplier Factor Actual 150.164.100.65 d6945438 1.000000 0.142857 0.300572 150.164.100.69 89857dc5 1.000000 0.142857 0.266725 150.164.100.70 239c90ac 1.000000 0.142857 0.203087 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.214236 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.005091 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.005338 150.164.100.72 7d152572 1.000000 0.142857 0.004951 ps: the last one: 150.164.100.72 has 64GB memory, so I setup 4 squid processes which listening on 80 81 82 83 ports. If the column "Hash" identified hashed URLs chuck, is it good; if not, how can I make several CARP-frontend distribute the SAME hashed URL chunk to one squid box; I'm using squid-2.6 and squid-2.7. -- gongfan193@xxxxxxxxx zhangsw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 18601633785
