Squid doesn't need to know about any of this; BGP handles this perfectly. > The routing will be handle by our router configure for BGP, so my only > concern is about squid. If you're announcing a single prefix over both ISP connections, then when ISP 1 is down, the rest of the world will see your prefix (network/website/etc) through ISP 2. No need to involve Squid - Squid won't care! If you have different IP space from each provider, then things get tricky. hth, aaron.glenn
