I found someone that is doing this - they are using a linux box as their
default route with transparent proxies turned on in the kernel, probably
running squid on port 80 which they have then hacked to tell which IP it
is supposed to connect to based on the address that it accepts the socket
at.
No we are not doing it - we have already split into to cache servers,
and we certainly don't want to try and load balance between 2 routers that
are both running as caches and trying to route our traffic (in the
multi-megabits per second range - multiple T1's)
If you want the guys email address, mail me... As far as I am aware he is
using the cache for their dialin section only, which you might get to work.
