Hey, I am a bit confused. you need some domains to be in fail over mode ?? and others load balanced?? what needs to be failed over just use a acl that direct the proxy as not running like with external ACL with a TTL that will allow the proxy to be identified fast enough as in "DOWN" state. I would go on a round robin simple setup with a rule like this: (add name=proxy1\2 to the cache_peer directive which will make the settings more readable and flexible) ##start cache_peer_access proxy1 deny highpriodomains external_acl_helper_that_recognizes the proxy is down cache_peer_access proxy1 deny highpriodomains !external_acl_helper_that_recognizes the proxy is down cache_peer_access proxy1 allow all cache_peer_access proxy2 allow all ##end This is kind of RR + FO for specific domains. You can use my basic helper from: https://github.com/elico/squid-helpers/tree/master/squid_helpers/proxy_hb_check which is not the same as the old internal feature that was embedded into squid but it's more then any other thing I can think of right now.
