2015-08-27 Thread Imaginovskiy
Hi all, Bit of a strange one but I'm wondering if it's possible to have squid redirect a site to a secondary backend server if the primary is down. Have been looking into this but haven't seen much similar to this. Currently I have my setup along the lines of this; Client -> Squid -> Backend1 b
