Buy a $10,000 load balancing switch? Hehe not.
But we need to maintain state. You can't have the squid redirector direct
the user to different IMP machines. If it uses cookies, squid will have
to watch those. I don't know if anyone is working on giving squid the
functionality of say, F5 BigIP, even if those boxes are PC hardware.
squid code is tough. are you up to it? :)
