Hi John,
I have done this before with 3 DSL links. I personally would leave squid
out of the picture and configure the OS to do this. Once that is
working, there are a few tricks to get Squid to load balance the
traffic. It's not really the scope of this list to cover it.
Amos - I am wondering if it won't be useful to put a little page up on
the wiki for this ? I see the question pops up quite often ?
Cheers,
Pieter

This works great but I would like to achieve a similar configuration with the access to the WAN links from proxy servers. I have two Wan DSL Links and two dsl routers. I'm open to changing this configuration but I'd like to avoid a dual wan router as this would mean no redundancy if the router fails.

I could probably write a script to check the wan links and the routers which could then change the network settings and restart if required but this seems a rather inelegant solution. Is there a way of doing this with squid or has anyone got any better ideas?
