I wanted to write a tool that will allow a squid cluster to run smoothly in the past by doing periodically "health" checks. it's a basic crontab task that flags 1-4 flags per proxy in the cluster in either a DB or a small FS file that will might hold a "record of fame" about the stability of the connection etc..
if someone can sketch a way that this kind of a helper can work I will be glad to write some code in ruby to make it work. Eliezerr
