Thanks.

Since all web servers are under private Gigabit network, RTT delay or
bandwidth stuffs are not important.

However, they are application servers and CPU intensive and therefore
I run squid as reverse proxy.

So I hope the one with more CPU power (it can be config. my me
manually) can be sharing more requests, what would be the best setup
for this?
