Re: [squid-users] MIGHT INTEREST YOU ALL :)

Hi,

No one needs to change thier settings, write a proxy.cgi in perl and point
all your users to it :)

You can find a guide to how a proxy.pac can be written here
http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-live.html

We have written a proxy.cgi in perl which will get the REMOTE_ADDR and
determine which proxy the user should use, you can get the perl script to
return 3 proxys and in the case that one did not respond it will use the
2nd and then 3rdproxy.

Your perl shoud return something like this to the browser.

PROXY 10.0.0.4:8080; PROXY 10.0.0.5:8080; PROXY 10.0.0.6:8080

Hope this helps.

There is "Proxy configuration scripts", that allows easy propagation of
new settings, failover etc in a quite nice manner..

Smart DNS load balancing can also do the trick.

Smart routing of a "virtual proxy IP address" is another approach, to
have different machines acting for the proxy IP address for different
populations in your network.
