[squid-users] Load Balancing in ICAP - reg

Hi All,

I am just checking the Load balancing feature available in squid-icap setup.

I had defined the icap related acls like below and ICAP server is running is
both the machines described

icap_enable on
icap_service service_1 respmod_precache 0 icap://172.16.1.35:1344/respmod
icap_service service_1 respmod_precache 0 icap://172.16.1.53:1344/respmod
icap_class class_1 service_1
icap_access class_1 allow all

In this setup, the requests are always handled by the first machine defined
in service_1, in this case, 172.16.1.35. When 172.16.1.35 is down, then the
requests are handled by 172.16.1.53.

When the load is very high, will both the machines will balance the load?

Thanks,
Selvi
