Re: [squid-users] squid and high availability

Hi Jakob,

I need leave two squid's running because my setup with squid +AD auth
cannot run more than 1200 connections, then I want put two server to
failover and balance connections, is it possible?
Remember isn´t proxy reverse, is a proxy with ad auth and acl by group of AD.

Thanks for advice.
Marcos
