Hi All,
In a scenario, where a LAN is being provided internet connectivity through multiple ISPs terminated at a Load Balanced Multihomed Linux Router as described in LARTC HowTo, how would the traffic distribution affected if there is a squid based transparent proxy for the LAN's web traffic on the same system (i.e. the load balanced router itself). The recent squid versions have an option of setting multiple values for "outgoing_tcp_address" depending upon various ACL rules. Its also possible to not specify any IP address for this parameter so that it takes the outtgoing address on its own. But how would the proxy server behave in case of 2 or more outgoing internet links ? Has someone tried out something similar ? What will happen if this transparent proxy server is on a different system within the LAN itself ? Would the traffic distribution between multiple ISPs be affected since the entire web traffic would appear to originate from a single LAN IP (the IP address of the proxy server) ?
Thank you in advance for your comments.
