[squid-users] DNS Fail-over Problem Squid does not realize chrashed webservers

Hi list,

searched the internet for a while, but did not find an
answer to my problem. We use several IP's in the DNS
for our webservers utilizing round-robin and
fail-over. DNS will send all IP's to the client at
request time. The client then make his connection to
these different host. If one webserver crashes the
clients only need 1-3 seconds to realize which server
is down and redirect all other requests to the
remaining ones. Tested with Firefox, Opera and IE.
Squid reacts different. It does not realize that one
server is down, so the user will receive a lot of web
time-outs and has to reload every page serveral times
till the proxies has fetched all objects from the
remaing servers. Does anybody has a solution.
