I have multiple WAN connections available, and what I'd really like to do is have a squid that's smart enough to "learn" which web sites are better out of which WAN connection. But, shy of something that advanced, is it possible to have squid know to bind to N outside addresses, and then either round-robin them, or try one always, and then try the other if there is a failure on the first?

  Last time I looked, that could only accept one address. I want to bind to multiple outgoing addresses, so I can control routing of queries.

  Can tcp_outgoing_address take multiple addresses now? Does it just round-robin through them?
