Hi Viktor,
I have been using HA for quite sometime, but have been puzzled how to configure Squid because I am also using pfBlocker. pfBlocker does not display HA addresses. After reading your post I am assuming that the LAN of pfBlocker will find its way to the right HA interface.
There is always something new to learn, one of my employees said today, and I seem always to be a newbie in some area. However exposing my ignorance has taught me a great deal.
From your post, could you please explain
in case of IPv4, it's easier to use port forward to 127.0.0.1:3128:
Bind Squid to Loopback (127.0.0.1) interface.
Create a port forward from <CARP IP>:3128 to 127.0.0.1:3128.
Have your users hit <CARP IP>:3128.
I would like to know the why and the how. I think I know what is going on here and even how to do it, but I have not spent much time doing Squid for a while and want to be sure.
Why is it a good idea to do this?
Where do I bind Squid to Loopback? maybe obvious but guessing gets me into trouble.
I have several HA LANs. There is only one mapping here. Can I map multiple addresses to 127.0.0.1?
Having my users "hit" the CARP address happens automatically I think.
Thanks for your patience and help.
