FW: Multiple cache servers with failover ?

Hey all -

I sent this in last week, and haven't heard a peep. Is there no one out
there using (or trying to) squid in a failover/HA environment ?

Subject: Multiple cache servers with failover ?
Has anyone tried an implementation with two or more squids and IP failover ?
(Linux-HA)
That is, I want the user community to be split between two servers acting as
siblings, 10.1.0.1 and 10.1.0.2.  If one or the other fails, have the other
take over the failed IP address.  Since they're siblings, their caches
should be fairly consistent.
The only hassle I can see is when 10.1.0.1 takes over for 10.1.0.2, thus
answering for both addresses - this may screw up the squid sibling cache
workings ...  That is, 10.1.0.1 is configured to talk to 10.1.0.2 as a
sibling, but now it IS 10.1.0.2.  Forwarding loop ?
If not like this, how can we setup a redundant pair of caches ?
