Re: [squid-users] Proxy failover setup

Squid can be clustered mostly like any other TCP/IP application.

How to cluster is very dependent on the OS, and is outside of Squid. However,
Squid is perhaps easier to cluster than many other applications as there do
not need to be any shared data between the cluster members.
