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

Thanks to all for replies.

Sorry i didn't mentioned the plateform I am using to run squid on
which is freebsd 7.

I have visited the linux-ha site, where it says the software is
supported for freebsd too but their is no distribution for freebsd, so
can u people tell me which distribution i can use for feebsd 7?

Thanks & Regards,
A Sami
