When I was playing with Squid and transparent proxying, web downtime due to squid server problems was not an acceptable possibility...so I played around with gated, and through some gated games, got the squid server setup such that when it was up, there was a default route in OSPF pointing to the squid server. The metric on that route was high enough that I had some systems using it, some ignoring it. Thus if the squid server was down, customers would get to the web non-proxied. I had to give up testing as the hardware I had available was inadequate.
