I tested load balacing squid proxys with HAproxy, and it was nice, then i had a crazy thought;
"what if i used varnish, and load-balance "and" cache at the same time...?"
Varnish its a great software for reverse-caching webservers... i'm not using it for what it was created, but i had this crazy idea...:P
Well, i took varnish and started "inventing" a way...
Request---> varnishd:8080 --> refered has "webfarm"

proxy1 proxy2 proxy3
config file: default.vcl
backend proxy1 {
.host = "10.30.1.171";
.port = "8080";
}
backend proxy2 {
.host = "10.30.1.172";
.port = "8080";
}
backend proxy3 {
.host = "10.30.1.173";
.port = "8080";
}
director webfarm round-robin {
{
.backend = proxy1;
}
{
.backend = proxy2;
}
{
.backend = proxy3;
}
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (client.ip == "10.1.5.10" )
{ set req.backend = webfarm; }
}.
Well it worked...but i'm not very sure about the perfomance...varnish was not created for this :P
