Hi,

Yes, it is even pretty easy to accomplish. We are using a dedicated
Loadbalancer (but you can of course use LVS as loadbalancer) which is
balancing proxy request to 8 squid instances on 4 different real
servers with Kerberos authentication. We are not using any cache
hierarchy, just 4 standalone squid servers.
Just create a virtual loadbalancer IP, configure an DNS-entry for that
IP and configure this FQDN (don't use the IP-address because Kerberos
won't work) in your client browsers. Create a Kerberos Ticket for this
hostname/fqdn (I assume you already did something similiar for your
current setup) and use this ticketfile on your squid servers. That's
pretty much it.

regards
Peter
