Normally you run the Squids in active-active mode having each others as siblings. This will make the cache mostly duplicated in both instances. > A little extension to my earlier query, can we configure > a load-balancer or like in front of squid so that each squid > instance is utilised effectively? Yes. Or you can use proxy.pac to have the browsers do the load balancing. My preference is using a TCP load balancer. > If so how is this achieved in squid configuration? Squid does not really care how it gets the traffic. It just processes what gets sent to him. Regards Henrik
