Re: Using two Proxies to balance the load.

Hi,
  There are two solutions for load balancing

1. You can use dns round-robin method. In order to
make it work you should configure in named.local of
your dnsserver as follows

CACHE-A IN A 172.16.1.111
CACHE-D IN A 172.16.1.114
CACHE-F IN A 172.16.1.116
CACHE IN CNAME CACHE-A
CACHE IN CNAME CACHE-F
CACHE IN CNAME CACHE-D

 so that in your browser you can specify CACHE as the
proxy cache server. Now for every http request
different proxy servers selected in round robin
fashion

 cost is low.
disadv

no fail over strategy
2. You can use router for load balancing.

Routers(WCCP Router)has fail over strategy if one
proxy fails it can route the same request to another
proxy.
disadv
------
expensive

visolve cache
