Re: FW: Multiple cache servers with failover ?

I've run squid arrays, but put them behind l4 (foundry) switches that
take care of the HA aspects themsevles.. (i.e. it balances between 1
and 2 normally and should 1 disappear 2 takes all the burden.. as
opposed to 2 answering for 1 and 2)

-P

:: The only hassle I can see is when 10.1.0.1 takes over for 10.1.0.2, thus
