Check out http://naragw.sharp.co.jp/sps/. I think that this is the most simple and effective way as long as you don't mind using proxy.pac files and/or WPAD. Your other option is to use LVS w/ keepalived and ICP.

That should give good coverage on the techniques Also...visiting www.squid-cache.org and searching for "failover" will help.

I am planning to install a load balancing plan for our cache server, which will obviously load balance, but will also have a redundant feature. What can I do this with? Basically have to servers service the caching, but "they must look like one server" ... I am sure I sound stupid, but just to make sure.
