Right.  Though the details are very sparse, this is stock Squid  
running in accelerator mode.  The solution I described is quite  
different (for one, it's normal-mode squid for _outbound_ requests,  
and second, it actually probes the links to see if they're working).

A commercial solution that looks a lot more like the stuff we built  
are products by Stonesoft ("Multi-Link Technology") and Fatpipe  
("Redundant Array of Independent Lines").  RadWare's "LinkProof" has  
a similar style, though the actual technique they use is more link- 
centric instead of path-centric.
