Hello,

The round-robin option must be used on more than one cache_peer line to
be useful. Connections to caches configured with this options are spread
evenly (round-robined) among the caches. This can be used by client
caches to communicate with a group of loaded parents, so that load is
spread evenly. If you have multiple Internet connections, with a parent
cache on each side, you can use this option to do some basic
load-balancing of the connections.

In other words,the round-robin option is similar to default, except that
Squid forwards the request to the parent with the lowest use count. The
cache_peer_domain restrictions still apply, of course. A typical
configuration might look like:

cache_peer proxy.visolve.com1 parent 3128 3130 round-robin no-query
cache_peer proxy.visolve.com2 parent 3128 3130 round-robin no-query
