>>How is the requests getting to Squid? Change that to refer to the backend. DNS, not really an option. Other than an extra Squid server, I'm looking for something real time. >>Or use a TCP plug or simlar "trivial proxy" in place of Squid. Could the TCP plug or "trivial proxy" be activated only if Squid failed? Do you know where I could find more info on doing something like this? Brad
