1. Use de WPAD protocol: lets say PROXY squid1; PROXY squid2 (this is fail over) IMHO, using PAC (with or without WPAD) is the simplest and most effective approach to failover, requiring no additional software beyond a web server to host the PAC file. With PAC, the browser will automatically

I'd assume that the limit on cached data for Squid is not the number of bytes, but the number of cached objects? If you were to tune squid to be aggressive about caching large popular objects, then you could certainly fill a terabyte plus cache_dir, but I'm not sure how cost effective it would be

These numbers appear to indicate that Squid is nearly as fast as Apache serving up static content, which is pretty much exactly what I would expect. The very high 'max' field suggests that the total is being skewed by one very slow transaction, both for Apache (3 seconds) and then even more so
