clients only need 1-3 seconds to realize which server is down and redirect all other requests to the remaining ones. Tested with Firefox, Opera and IE. Squid reacts different. It does not realize that one server is down, so the user will receive a lot of web time-outs and has to reload every page serveral times
It does detect the failure, but it's timeout is considerably higher.. (default 2 minutes).
See connect_timeout. Regards Henrik
