Is it good Idea to use HAProxy for normal forwardProxy ?

We are setting up proxy servers for an enterprise account. Which is going to be used as one stop shop for all internet out request. I know HAProxy can be used whereas Squid is also an option. Can someone please provide a better understanding on which one to use? I also dont see a proper implementation guide to configure the forward proxy using HAProxy.

Thanks Praveen

This isn't accurate, because HAProxy is not a forward proxy. It is only a reverse proxy.

HAProxy can, of course, be used as a load balancer in front of a set of forward proxies if desired, but you would still need another piece of software, such as squid, to provide the actual forward proxy service.
