Re: [squid-users] Load Balancing

what about caching in your setup?
this info will surely help you to design your setup.

I am using one proxy server and two caching proxy servers and
the total number of users in my setup are much more than yours.

I would like to ask you one question here as you have done with
transparent proxy. How are you dealing with https(port 443) request from
your transparent proxy setup?
