Load balancing/fail-over + traffic shaping + proxy/squid

xaviero

after searching for a night, i found this http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Troubleshoot_Outbound_Load_Balancing_Issues

it said,


Squid doesn't seem to be using both connections

You are right, at this stage (1.0.1 plus February 2007 updates), Squid (and most other packages) don't understand load balancing, and will just use the WAN connection.

so, if there a OPT1/WAN2 connection, will squid just bypass it ? or just get some error ?

advice need pls

i tried my new configuration in pfsense 1.2.2 with multi-wan + Proxy, and it worked.
i'm not using traffic shaper for now

my problem is, when the load balance have 2 WAN Green Status, the proxy worked, LAN can browsing the net.
but when it fail-over to 1 WAN, the proxy not work and the LAN cant browsing anymore.

any enlightment please?

stop hoping that what you want is able to run for now…
like what you said by yourself squid can't handle load balancing. it's absolutely right.
hope the next squid can handle it.

thanks 4 your reply,

you don't get what i meant before, i tried squid can work with load balance, but it can't work with fail-over…..

I think that fail over is Load balancing part (nessecary for load balancing).
