Re: [squid-users] squid round-robin problem

thank you very much, it is working now, when 1st link is down the connection is
shifted to link2 and vice versa, but having another problem, remember link 1 is
connected to a pc which is configured as proxy1 with option proxy-only and
cache_dir null same as the second line connected to another machine and
confiure as proxy 2 with same configuration as proxy 1. The problem is when
link 1 is off the main proxy still do a round robin which in this case checks
the proxy 1 and proxy 2 alternatively so in case that link 1 is off therefore
when the main proxy fetches on the proxy 1 an error occured, so what can I do
is to refresh the page until the main proxy checks the second link which is the
proxy 2.

Is there a way to configure that when the 1st is off, proxy1 will announces to
the main proxy that it has no connection to the internet so that main proxy
will not bother to visit proxy 1 instead direct all request to proxy2.

Tnak you very much,

Wennie
