[squid-users] Using Squid as a reverse proxy to balance traffic with stickiness

[Flavio Catalani]

Hi,

I've read that squid can balance the requests when used as a reverse proxy 
using stickiness over srcIP.

On http://devel.squid-cache.org/old_projects.html#rproxy it is described as 
beta.

I could not find any info on how to configure squid using sticky load 
balancing. Can anyone help me?

The solution is something like:


                                            Squid
                                                /\
                                              /    \
                                            /        \
                                        Web     Web
                                      Server    Server


with stickiness  on srcIP: every request from the same IP must be satisfied 
(if not in cache) from the same WebServer.

Note that the web servers will be more than 2.


Thank you, Flavio
