Hi everyone I've been trying to make a traffic load balancing between two links based on username using tcp_outgoing_address My squid setup only use authorization with an external_acl which returns the username based on the client ip. In my first failure trying to setup this, I found (with the help of Amos) that tcp_outgoing_address only works with fast acls, so ext_user acl doesn't work there, Amos recommend me to use NOTE acl for matching annotations in transactions, at first it looks to work fine but now I am realizing that only a very small part of the traffic is been going through the correct link. I can't find any good documentation related to note acl with some samples or cases of usage, so I hope some one can correct my config and/or point me the right direction to achieve this. Inside my external acl I mark some users like this. // if username is one of fast users fwrite(STDOUT, "OK user=$username clt_conn_tag=55\n"); So theoretically both user and clt_conn_tag values can be matched with NOTE ACL, as far as i know, I use also clt_conn_tag for testing but it should be enough with user mark. #this is fast users declaration tests ive tried with both commented and uncommented acl. acl nodo_users ext_user "/etc/squid3/users/nodo_users" #acl fast_users note clt_conn_tag 55 acl fast_users note user "/etc/squid3/users/nodo_users" nodo_users is a list of fast users, the tcp_outgoing_address is used like this #fast link for fast users tcp_outgoing_address xx.xx.xx.01 fast_users # default slow link tcp_outgoing_address xx.xx.xx.02 Traffic of fast users is intermitent between the two links and much more using the slow link than the fast link (opposite than expected). External ACL TTL is 3 sec, so I asume that the correct balancing is made only when squid checks de acl and mark the request, but this mark isnt persistent. Please, any help with this will be appreciated.
