Is there a technique, that does not require special hardware, for
distibuting the load across 2 or more FreeBSD servers running squid?

eg. proxy.foobar.com is really a bunch of FreeBSD servers all running squid
sharing the load.

Also an important feature would be if one of the servers goes down the others
would take over the full load.
