[squid-users] Squid Cache and Load Balancing...

Hi Folks,

I am looking at setting up two Linux-based caching servers for two
WebMarshal servers for around 120 schools. The WebMarshal servers
perform all the content checking and Squid will do all the caching.

The two WebMarshal servers are using Windows load balancing so I would
like to have a similar configuration for the Squid servers. I
understand I can share the cache's between the two Squid servers and I
have read around Pen, L7SW, LVS and keepalived but its not clear to me
which bits I need to do what in the setup.

Please can someone give me some pointers as to what I would need to get
load balanced / HA Squid cache servers without buying a dedicated piece
of load balancing hardware.

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Andy McCall
