OS = (linux RH 8.0 on IBM hardware) The company I work for is currently using squid as an accelerator for a large cluster of servers that do image processing. We have one squid server sitting in front of the imageserver cluster which caches the image urls and reduces the load on the servers enormously. I've recently been trying to find a way in which I can run 2 squid accelerators side by side, load-balanced using LVS. Ideally I'd like to get the 2 squid accelerators to peer in such a way that if a request comes in to Accelerator-A it can ask Accelerator-B if it has it cached and if Accelerator-B doesn't have it cached then Accelerator-A will contact the origin servers directly and likewise if a request comes in to Accelerator-B, contact Accelerator-A in the same fashion. I thought that a dual-sibling relationship would accomplish this but from what I am observing there is no ICP communication between two siblings in a parent-less environment. Has anyone done this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
