[squid-users] Re: Authentication on a load balanced squid

As the user authenticates himself on each and every request this is not
a problem. All you need to make sure is that the browser thinks the two
proxies are the same hostname.

The simplest approach is using load balancer infront of the proxies
(linux ipvs is a good one), but even DNS round-robin and other load
distribution mechanisms works just fine.
