Greetings, I'd like to introduce you to squid-3.2. http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.2 It is currently held in beta due to some background structural changes not having been completed but otherwise ready for testing and for use where it tests out as usable. > Is any tested way to do with without going to virtualization. > Can it be done using wccp and squid running in transparent mode, so we > can use a Cisco router to load-balance requests? The current stable releases all support manually configuring and running multiple Squid instances with a peering heirarchy setup inside the box (no virtualization required). With a gateway instance or NAT scripts to perform rough port sharing. Lookup load balancing Squid in google or the Squid FAQ wiki to get examples and tutorials. Amos
