Re: [squid-users] squid 2.6/2.7 with cache_peer and sourcehash

Are you running Squid for reverse-proxy?
If so there are many different IPs accessing your systems, so using a sourcehash for load-balancing is pretty well.
If not reverse-proxy sourcehash has nothing meanings.

Regards.

Hi, we have 3 caches running 2.6 and 2.7 serving pages and since we
need to maintain sessions we are thinking on using squid to do it
adding 'sourcehash' to the cache_peer lines.

How does this work exactly? let's say my company uses a firewall that
exposes a single IP for outside web browsing. If I hit the squid
servers and get 1 assigned based on my IP, will all of my coworkers
hit the same server?

My concern is that we get some of these type of big corporate clients
locked on a single machine while the other ones are doing nothing...

Tnx
