http load balancing with squid
A while back at work I had to create a configuration for an internal squid http accelerator, and thought “hey, wouldn’t it be neat if I could load balance thefraggle.com with this method”.
Now, usually Squid is used to act as a caching proxy server, which means that client http requests are sent to the proxy server, the proxy server then goes out onto the web and attempts to grab the request, and returns the entry back to the client; in the process caching the pages (depending on the way the cache has been set up).
