Re: [squid-users] uninteruptable proxy

>My humble opinion is.. don't use squid, use haproxy.
but I need a web proxy server, and not the TCP/HTTP reverse proxy server.

HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is particularly suited for high availability
environments
Reference
http://linux.die.net/man/1/haproxy

As per my understandings(which might be wrong) Reverse Proxy is used to publish
your servers(on your private LAN) to the Internet, so I think HAProxy is not for my case,
I need a http proxy server.
So do you think, I can use HAProxy in my organization ?
If yes, then please provide some url/doc to install and configure it on SUSE box
