Re: [squid-users] Outbound Load-balancing

found it...

tcp_rotate_outgoing_addresses on
tcp_outgoing_address 123.123.123.123
tcp_outgoing_address 123.123.123.124
tcp_outgoing_address 123.123.123.125
tcp_outgoing_address 123.123.123.126

Now the real question.... Which compile option do i need to use to
get this functionality? I'm using 2.6 STABLE 6

Thanks in advance guys,

Ian
