: The DNS way would indeed be nice. It's not possible in current Squid
: however, if anyone is able to sponsor some work it might be doable.

If i can demonstrate enough advantages in getting peering to work i might
just be able to convince someone to think about doing that ... but that
also assumes i can get the operations team adament enough to protest
having a hack where they need to run a "config_generator" script on
every box whenever a cluster changes (because a script like that would be
fairly straight forward to write as a one off, it's just harder to
implement as a general purpose feature in squid)

: With Squid-2.7 you can use the 'include' directive to split the squid.conf
: apart and contain the unique per-machine parts in a separate file to the
: shared parts.

yeah, i'm already familiar with inlcude, but either way i need a
per-machine snippetto get arround the "sibling to self" problem *and* a
way to reconfig when the snippet changes (because of the cluster changing
problem)
