Squid Proxy Configuration with loadbalancing

[Rocker_Cello]

My client connects to a loadbalancer (BigIP - F5) which has a pool of 2 squid proxy servers and the two proxy servers are connected to a web server( ABC.COM).

Normally i make my request on a VIP (L.B) which forwards the flow... . . .

I have configured the bigip, installed the squid and host my website on the web server (apache)

I have been able to make the connection: client>loadbalancer>web server. Works Great...Page is displayed!!

but i need a squid proxy in there... and i have no idea how to make that work...tried everything i know...just cant figure out what am missing.. my squid just keeps on reset sync reset sync (tcpdump)...

can u help me with that please?? How do i make the client look for ABC.COM....

just to keep things simple...i have used only one subnet: 192.168.0.0/24 and all systems are centos

you want a squid forward proxy? can you diagram what you are trying to accomplish?

client---(vip)---load balancer-----squid1/squid2-----web server

The squid server are in cluster. Both are active and use a least connection algorithm to allow access.

My problem is that: How do i get a response when my client types abc.com in the browser? the flow goes till the squid..then? how to configure the squids?

ok...if u say squid forward.. how do i do that? thnx

Doesn't that seem redundant to have VIP/Load balancer/squid 1/2 ? Those can all way run off two reverse-proxy squid boxes rather than all that mess?

Nginx can do SSL load balancing reverse proxy mode too!

but squid: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy
