High Availability, Caching - Squid + UltraMonkey

    Hello,

    I have a question.
    I have never used Squid or UltraMonkey before.

    I would like to know if I can use them both in conjunction.

    The idea is that I have high availability, but can this work on clusters? I can't see how.

    Ie.

    Ender User - IPV (Virtual IP) - Two Highavailability UM servers - Then you have squid for caching then you have the apache servers.


    The question is how can this work?
    UM only works directly with Apache doesn't it?

    I want high availability load balanced, cached servers, then behind that im going to run replicating mysql, but thats completely transparent for this.

    Can someone please direct me to what I can use, I know how to do either caching and apache, or high availability load balanced with apache,

    but not, cached - HALB.

    Thanks

    Do you want to have an open-source load balancing environment? The easiest way is to run active-passive load balancing software (for proxies, LVM etc) and then load balance between multiple web backends + replicated mysql backends. Check out http://www.drbd.org/
    this may suit your needs.
