History:

Changes in 3.1 balance_on_multiple_ip

The previous default behavour (rotate per-request) of this setting causes failover clashes with IPv6 built-in mechanisms. It has thus been turned off by default. Making the 'best choice' IP continue in use for any hostname until it encounters a connection failure and failover drops to the next known IP. 

        Modern IP resolvers in Squid sort lookup results by preferred access.
        By default Squid will use these IP in order and only rotates to
        the next listed when the most preffered fails.

        Some load balancing servers based on round robin DNS have been
        found not to preserve user session state across requests
        to different IP addresses.

        Enabling this directive Squid rotates IP's per request.
