Re: Load balancing on Multiple squid cache

Here are some options:

If you use AutoProxy, you could implement this in browser with a
CARP like algorithm. I have done this and it works well, but there
are issues with it.

If you have a tiered architecture you could implement the CARP or
round-robin at the lower tier (nearer the browser than the target.

Finally, the best approach would be do do it with Layer 7 switching
(from Alteon or ArrowPoint for instance).

It is probably better to use a CARP type switch rather than just a
Layer 4 switch as this should make your Squid more efficient for a
given size of cache.
