RE: [squid-users] How to setup squid proxy to run in fail-over mode

Hi Abdul,

Please try to enter 2 different IPs in the DNS ....

10.xxx.yyy.zz1 (proxyA) as primary (proxyA-Name should be same on both the
servers.)
10.xxx.yyy.zz2 (proxyA) as secondary.

Start squid services on both the servers (Primary & Secondary)

If Primary server fails, the DNS will resolve secondary IP for proxyA & the
squid on second server will kick in automatically......

Hope am able to explain it properly.

Regards,

Sagar Navalkar

Dear all,

Now that i have setup a proxy server, as a next step i want to run it
in fail-over high availability mode, so that if one proxy is down due
to any reason, second proxy should automatically be up and start
serving requests.

any help in shape of articles/steps would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

A Sami
