      Edit the floating rule so that the interfaces and direction are also visible in the screenshots. That's the most important info there aside from what you've shown.

          Check "quick" on that rule.

              duplicate the floating rule you made for http traffic, then modify it for dns (proto tcp/udp / port dns=53)

                  Thanks Heper but that also did not work.  I'm going to be deploying this later on with a different network (Right now I am just testing) with DNS servers on the LAN so maybe I'll have better luck in that environment.  I'll post back as soon as this happens.

                  Many thanks.

                        Still couldn't get it to work.. failover works great if I don't have Squid running.

                            Did you tested this setup in case of loadbalancing? 
                            After my test it perfectly works in case of failover, but not when I set up loadbalancing between two gateways..
                            I tried to bind squid to loopback and LAN and only loopback, and works well only when gateways sets in failover.

                              I agree with mbedyn, failover works but not loadbalancing.

                                Saw the same thing here.  Fail-over yes, load balancing no.

                                  same here no loadbalance only failover. Also the redirect error page in squidguard doesn't point to the redirect page.

                                        Hello.
                                        For three days I'm trying to do this.
                                        I tried and tried, but I can not get it to work.
                                        I can not open web pages it opens and then stops and does not go more 'forward.
                                        I attach a screenshot
                                        As you can see I can not even do program updates.
                                        If anyone can help me, I would do a big favor.
                                        Thanks to all.
