Re: multi ethernet cards for a squid cache

You would have to use ethernet cards and switches which support load balancing,
and fault tolerance. On top of that, you would need a driver for RH6 for the
load balancing features. An example would be the Intel EtherExpress 10/100 NICs
for Servers. However, I don't think that there is yet a driver for Linux for
the Intel NIC.

Nothing to do with Squid features here (I think). Unless someone else has
something to add.
