Hello! I would like to set up two squid nodes to cache our public internet usage for client PCs. I was thinking to set up squid and use Heartbeat on the servers to have an active/passive cluster in case of one of the servers stops. But why would I have two squid nodes running while one of it smoking from work, and the other just watching ?? I would like to put both nodes to work and somehow get a cluster set up as well, so in case one node is down then the internet would be still available trough the other node. Any help would be apprechiated! Thanks!
To use both you probably want to advertise both proxy IPs in the DNS results of a name you call the cluster. The client browser can do its own failover with several IPs when it knows.
The squid can be setup as cache_peer siblings to share objects. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.3
