[squid-users] Large setup, squid load-balancing problem.

Hi

I have a 2 level setup
1-st level is local squid, eg. squid-office that forward all non-local
traffic to 2-nd level squids.
2-nd level are 4 parent squid servers: squid1, squid2, squid3, squid4.
(2 servers, 2 processes to use both cpu-s)

It would be nice to load-balance the parents and if one of the parents
should go down then to make it more reliable.

---
One way might be to add to all 1-st level squids parents to 
squid-office.conf
cache_peer cache1 parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=2
cache_peer cache2 parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=1
....
Will this work with no-query?
----
Will the following do load-balancing and failover?
(I saw something like this from Henrik-s homepage)
DNS:
cache    A     192.168.2.1 #cache1
cache    A    192.168.2.2 #cache2
and then to squid.conf
cache_peer cache parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default weight=1
