Re: [squid-users] Change tcp_outgoing_address every hour, best way to do this?

Hi Andres,

It's not a load issue, normally, the reason people would want to change
the source address is to load balance links (in this kinda of setup) If
you want to rotate the IP's "just because" then so be it :)

I would still suggest thou, that you run multiple squids on the box and
rotate between them, since tcp_outgoing_address has no ACL control (that
might be a feature request - Devs ? )

Like I said before, I will be publishing quite a bit of the work I did for
this type of setup, but if you decide to go with this option, I can share
the squid configs ahead of time.

Cheers,

Pieter
