<lifeless> oh <lifeless> someone should really file a bug (if they haven't) about squid rotating between round-robin hosts too much <lifeless> or at least there being no knob <lifeless> there are valid reasons to want slow rotation in the client <lifeless> that is definitely something we(squid) should support tuning of I'm sure lifeless can elaborate on what those valid reasons are, and it is known that this would not actually fix the apt issue. This is a result of issues where Release / Packages.gz is grabbed from one server in ubuntu mirrors and the other grabbed from another and they're not consistent.
