[squid-users] Proxy cluster?

Is there a "default" solution for clustering multiple Squid proxies in
a way that is transparent to the user?

We have 3 proxies, and "load-balance" the requests using a proxy.pac
files. Unfortunately this doesn't work properly, since some people
don't use that autoconfigration file :(

So basically we need some sort of load balancing (or a quasi-random
distribution of the users' request onto the 3 servers) in a way that
makes sure that a user always uses the same proxy for any given
destination host (I assume that some net-banking applications get
suspicious if the same session originates from different source IPs).
