Thanks for both suggestions, but just updating DNS causes some of my
clients (particularly Mac) Kerberos to not work - this is because of
reverse lookups. I have to move the IP and host name to other box as
swiftly as possible - An assignable VIP for each box seems the option here
which I believe HA can do. Just not sure about how Squid will react to
this..
