My current setup:
- Internal Network (20,000+ nodes) --->
- (2) Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon, 4GB Ram, 18GB SCSI OS Disk, 73GB SCSI Cache Disk, Squid on FreeBSD (Active/Passive setup using freevrrpd). --->
- (2) Linux boxes running Trend Interscan Viruswall, also configured in an active/passive setup using cache_peer to point to the active box at the time --->
- Internet - and we sustain roughly 10-15 Mb/s of traffic during the day.
I have been tasked with replacing and re-architecting the Anti Virus servers using the newer Trend Product (the old one is going away).
One problem that I have had in the past with load balancing between the two AV servers is that the destination web servers see the traffic coming from two different IP addresses so some session based websites (things like Cox Webmail) don't work properly.
I would like to take advantage of both Squid boxes in a Load Balancing setup instead of having a hot standby box, and also use both AV boxes.
How are you guys doing this? Thoughts?
