(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. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > At 03:33 PM 11/16/2001 +0800, Chris G Haravata wrote: > > If you have cisco routers you could do wccp and do proxy server > farm.
