RE: [SQU] If one Proxy is DOWN. How to make the other squid Proxy UP.

Hi,

I used to solve this by using a .pac file for both IE and Netscape. It
contained multiple proxy servers in a priority, so that if the first one was
down, the browser would use the next one. The ultimate fallback was the
DIRECT directive, which was last on the list. By using DIRECT I told the
browser to fetch directly from internet if all the named proxies were down.

Here is a very simplified sample of what my .pac file could contain:

function FindProxyForURL (url, host)
{
                return "PROXY 172.16.254.250:8080;172.16.254.251:8080;
DIRECT";
}

I'm not sure if the .pac files are standard still.. you may want to check
that out.

Hope this helps,

/Stefan
