Something else? You could span multiple instances of Squid on different ports. Don´t forget to make different processes use differente pid files, otherwise they will quit with this error: "Squid is already running". Keep in mind that Squid needs quick access to its cache (hard drive). I don´t know if several Squid processes are able to share the same cache - take a look and tell us. Or you could use several virtual servers with virtualization (Xen, VMware, etc). Again, this might not be the most optimized scheme for hard drive access. I would *try* this option, if Xen is an option and the CPU is able to do full virtualization. Both options might use round robin through iptables to balance the load.
