I am confused :) Not sure, if I'm correct, but squid could be used in sibling mode. In this case there are two or more squid nodes communicating to each other, and somehow having a load ballance between each oter or so? If I use a Pac file, I can set who should use Cache Node1,Cache Node2 in order, and who should try Cache node2, Cache node1 in order to have failover, and load ballance as well. I dont know if I am correct on this? What would happen if one employee is loggen into lets say to an Ebanking site to check his/her own account from work, and while he/she having an active session, one of the cache servers goes down. In sibling mode do they replicate data between each other? If I would use a Pac based configuration I am sure the conetent is not duplicated. -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Hildebrandt [mailto:Ralf.Hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 5:30 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Whats the differenne between sibling mode and pac file * Tóth Tibor Péter <tibor.peter.toth@xxxxxx>: > Hi! > > What is the difference? > > Two cache servers in sibling mode, > A pac file witch decides who should use CACHE1,CACHE2 and who should use CACHE2,CACHE1 in order?
