Hi all,
I'm currently getting my squid working on a 2 Mb bandwidth plan that's serving
20 users. it's all good though our need for speed is increasing by the day.
soon enough i'll be serving up to 60 user, hence the need to get higher
bandwidth though here where the problem is.
as i'm using HDSL, 2 Mb is the highest plan available.
hence, i need to get 2 HDSL subscriptions, in other words 2 modems/IPs to work
with..
i have two initial thoughts to solve this hope you could straighten me out if
they're wrong or suggest something better that your experience lead you to use:
1. setup Openvz on a centos box, get two templates up and running with squid
setup on them. each one with a different IP.
Each template would be routed to one ISP, and both proxies would be used in
child/parent proxy manner so i could use caching from both.
and i could split my users in half, 1 half would be using Squid#1 and the other
using squid#2.
2. the same squid box have two Nics, with two IPs, one routed to each ISP, i
get squid listening to port " 80" on both IPs, and same as above, half of my
users would be running on IP#1 and the others on IP#2.
do all this make any sense, i'm seeking your help as both ideas does not seem
very professional to me, and i doubt that's the optimal solution so any help
would be greatly appreciated.
thanks ,
--Roland
