Howdy,
Regarding the Load Balancing, I find ipvsadm to be a very good package.
I'm not well-versed with squid, but for 10,000 users, I should image
that hardware is not sufficient (especially if they're all requesting
pages at the same time?)
My immediate hunch would be to set up a virtualised squid proxy, and
then copy that across to be hosted on multiple servers. Providing it's
set up in a scalable fashion (maybe NFS share for config/rules) across
the entire cluster - you should be able to have a very scalable solution.
Regards,
Andy Loughran
