RE: [squid-users] help on LB config

I use a combination of Squid and HAProxy on my machines.

HAProxy is a very fine loadbalancer package, and I have configured multiple backend servers, backup servers, etc, per site and published specific sites for example on localhost:8001. I then use squid to connect to the cache_peer localhost:8001.
