How well does DNS round robin work in practice as compared to a proper load balancer?
I've never tried DNS round robin because people say it sucks. But I have no actual knowledge from first hand experience. I do know that load balancing using the tools that linuxvirtualserver.org talks about works great, and gives a very good and predictable level of control.
But yeah, there'd be no problem in waiting on that and just using squid, as per the rest of your diagram.
