I have an MikroTik box which routes client traffic and also multiple dedicated Squid cache servers. I want to redirect all the HTTP traffic that goes trough the MikroTik box to the Squid servers in a load balancing manner. I don’t want to forward the HTTP traffic to only one Squid server, but I want a round robin forwarding. Some requests should go to Squid1, other requests should go to Squid2… and so on.
I’ve read in the documentation that RouterOS can be configured with a WebProxy which also supports a parrent proxy to be configured. But I haven’t read anything about multiple parents. Squid supports multiple parent servers with a round-robin request distribution between the partents, for example:
cache_peer proxy1.isp.com parent 8080 round-robin no-query
cache_peer proxy2.isp.com parent 8080 round-robin no-query
Can the RouterOS WebProxy be configured in a similar way, with multiple parents?
Any other suggestions on how to load balance the HTTP traffic to all my Squid proxies?
