RE: [squid-users] Squid connection

If you're talking about a http-accelerator, there are a couple of usable
workarounds.
You could, for instance, have a daemon that constantly pings your target
server. If it fails, it immediately updates your refresh_patterns and
toggles offline_mode to on.
This does require that you've managed to grab a cache of the site at some
point though.

OTOH; you probably shouldn't be running a http-accelerator across different
physical networks if you're not sure about what you're doing.

I stand corrected on my wrong assumtion, thanks M. Any way does it means
that without touching the Squid server even 24 hours of backbone failure,
and the moment the backbone link re-establish, Squid will also re establish
automatically?

 - Squid will never shutdown when the Internet link is not available,
connection
attempts will fail however , leading to failing statuses for/from
URI's in access.log
and lot's of related info in cache.log however.

The induced pre-assumption(s) , are therefore simply wrong.
