Re: [squid-users] Strange and Weird configurations (Real: Load balancing)

Good day,
My special thanks to Amos Jeffries and Hasanen AL-Bana.
I still need further assistant and clarification on the issues below:

in the sample below which IP address i am going to use for
tcp_0utgoing_address(es), is it their DNS or the client IP (because i only
use to see DNS IP address in cache log)?

I am using squid on windows 7 (Ultimate) platform and have little or no
knowledge about Windows routing (table), can you help with references?

Can you give configuration example(s) on how i can further implement
tcp_outgoing_tos in conjunction with tcp_outgoing_address to direct squid
to splitt my download/upload and other internet traffic between my link A
and link B network interfaces with little or no failure when one is slow
or down.
