Hi,
I was thinking on a similar line.
The DNS would be perfect if you are using PROXY request
protocol since the DNS will force the client browsers to
alternate requests to each of the two squid servers.
However, if you are using transparent proxy mechanism
where you set a machine as the gateway... the this would
fail, because gateway addresses are not changed in the
round-robin fashion and the clients have to configured
to move to the second server as thier gateway.
please let me know if you find a perfect solution ;-)
regards,
Royans
