then maybe you would like to pattern a proxy farm like the one that we
have here in the ateneo. the proxy farm was not built to redundancy but
built for performance and disk usage efficiency. we have a 3 machine proxy
farm here. (a little farm). one of the proxies acts as the CARP master
for the other two proxies with large disks. using CARP ensures that the
cache entries are not duplicated in both proxies. CARP does not have the
overhead of doing ICP.

however, if you would like load balance and fail-over. maybe you can do
a three NIC solution. one interface for the external network. one interface
for the internal hosts. one interface for the cache transfers. the ateneo uses
a two interface setup. one for external and one for internal. both our
networks are separated.
