RE: [squid-users] Multiple Squid servers

Hi,

Just curious, what do we mean when we say "mostly duplicated"
below? Why/when not always? If we say not always in error
conditions, would we ever have situation when two functioning
caches may not have same cache in some specific scenarios? If,
so when and are these fixable in live environment? how?

Reg,
-Nimesh.
