: For a bit of leverage; every time the config changes squid needs to be : reconfigured, which causes a short outage. : : I've been thinking about it, and the multiple-IPs for a cache_peer might : work when a DNS name is entered as first parameter of cache_peer. But only : the IPs detected at startup/reconfigure time will be used so you don't : really evade the reconfigure outage with that either.
I think there's something here i wasn't aware of... I believe you are saying that the cache_peer hostnames are only resolved when the config is loaded, and not on a per request basis. Is that correct? (In that case a script that runs on each box to regenerate the config and reconfigure squid each time the cluster cahnges really does seem like the best option) -Hoss
