Hi everyone,

I would like to know the current status of using Squid as a Reverse Proxy and (Sticky) Load Balancer. I've Google'd and searched the mailing list archives.

I found this in an email:

Is any/all of this functionality available yet in "mainline" Squid?

Is there any patch/squid version that would be stable enough to use in production (with appropriate testing)?

I would like to have a hardware load balancer in front of a group of (Squid) reverse proxies doing sticky load balancing to backend web/app servers.

Is anyone on this list using Squid for this purpose, is there a common solution? Uncommon? ;-)


Thanks in advance,
Jake

Not yet. The feature will most likely be in Squid-3.1.

Unfortunately the rproxy patch has bitrotted a little due to conflicts
with other developments and I have not had time to bring all features
forward, but this part of the patch should be fairly stable still.

Regards
Henrik
