Default Squid Proxy Two ISP Load Balancing into one FAT pipe

Is it possible to configure one (single) squid server to configure with 2 different ISP's.

So we can use both ISP's at time to distribute load.

Squid is proxy server and it will not load balance or combine two ISP pipe into one fat pipe. However, you can trunk or bound two interfaces and use them as one big fat pipe. See following links for more

  1. Load Balancing (2 ISP 1 Connection) Configuration using Ubuntu Frozenade’s Zone
  2. Balancing Connections Over Multiple Links
  3. 10.4.*Multiple Connections to the Internet
One iptables is used, squid can automatically use one fat pipe. There is no special configu required on squid.
