[squid-users] cache_peer default and round-robin

Hello to all,

I am using Squid Version 2.5.STABLE6-20040729 and Samba 3.0.2a on Red Hat ES3.0.

Here is my squid architecture :

I've got two internal proxies on which are performed the NLTM authentication of
the users.

Some others proxies inside the company (remote sites) are defined as parent for
remote intranet.

One external squid proxy is defined as default parent , and is for the remaining
traffic (internet)

I have now another server that i need to install as failover for the external
squid server.

Can i also define this second parent as default (in addition to the first one) ?
Or should i use the option round-robin for the two external server (without
default) ?
Or can i use both (round-robin and default) for these servers ?

Thanks by advance for your help.

Lionel
