[squid-users] One squid instance, two WAN links, how to failover from primary to secondary link?

In an instance where you have a single instance of squid running on a
system with two WAN links, how would you configure things so that squid
will default to proxying all traffic from the LAN to WAN#1, but fallback
(failover) to WAN#2 if WAN#1 is down?

We're not interested in load-balance between the two WAN links as WAN #2
is very slow compared to WAN #1.

Is this simply handled by changing the default gateway of the server
using the "ip route" commands when we detect that WAN#1 is down?
