[squid-users] Squid Caching Hierarchy

Hi,

In the following S1,S2,S3,S4,S5 represent squid caching servers. A
request coming through Load balancer will go to S1,S2 or S3 and if
they don't have the requested web object it will contact S4/S5 which
In turn would contact O1 or O2 which are origin servers. Is this setup
plausible enough to be efficient or is there some other hierarchy
which could be more effective ? The aim is to keep load on origin
servers to the minimum and also the latency to minimum.

  Load Balancer

S1 S1 S3 S4 S5

    O1 O2

Thank you.
