Thanks for the reply amos.
I'm a total newbie to this kind of configuration, could you give me an
example of using cache_peer sibling statement?
How-to and FAQ details are documented here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheHierarchy
With the detailed docs for the config option here:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_peer/
also what options do i have to implement the LB before it goes to the
chosen squid server?? have in mind again i'm a total newbie regarding
this type of secenario...
I can't answer this one without knowledge of the LB your are going to
use. Thus my initial question:
>> What sort of capabilities do you have around the network to do that LB?
Thank you!

Hi
Does anyone know how to implement a two node squid reverse proxy??
My idea is to have 2 squid servers working as reverse proxy to an internal
apache web server. The two node should do some kind of load balance
between them.
What sort of capabilities do you have around the network to do that LB?
LB must be done before the request enters into the worker squid. (could be a
hardware LB, some software scripts, routing rules or another proxy).
For surety once a request enters either of the worker squid it may as well
be processed by that one. The only benefit of sibling links is when the data
is cached in the sibling for fast retrieval. Double-handling is a problem.
So a simple design would be:
internet

LB
squid1 -- squid2
\ /
\ /
\ /
apache
Which would be the best idea to implement this scenario?
Thanks!
There is nothing special involved.
1) Setup each node as a reverse-proxy separately with whatever handling is
appropriate for your needs.
2) Test that works.
3) Add the cache_peer sibling link between.
4) Test that works.
5) setup the LB to pass requests between them with whatever balance you
like.
