Hi Guys, I've been reading the mail archive on this subject but the issue hasn't been resolved so far so I would like to ask again if something has change or some one figured it out. Is it possible to assign an random round-robin outgoing_tcp_ip in the config file for every connection attempt in SQUID? We are currently trying to set something like this: tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.400 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.401 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.402 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.403 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.404 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.405 tcp_outgoing_address 100.200.300.405
balance_on_multiple_ip on
balance_* refers to the multiple destination IPs presented in DNS for a remote website.
ie www.l.google.com has multiple IPs.
* IPs are made up for security reasons But its not working, because its always selecting the first one from the list, probably because its working fine and thus ignoring everything else. I understand that we can use ACL's to assign when the IP's are going to be used such as in the morning / evening, by specific users, by specific incoming IPs etc. but we really like to assign the outgoing IP address randomly without linking it to specific users or ip addresses. How could we achieve this?
Try the "random" ACL type available in Squid-3.2 beta. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AclRandom First beta release of 3.2 will be coming out in the next day or so. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.5
