NimbostratusF5 Loadbalancer loadbalcing between two Proxy Servers
So, thankfully - What you're wanting to do it completely simple. Here's how i would do it: New DNS Name created - newproxy.yourcompany.com (Hey - Why not use F5's GTM to do this) Create a VIP on an F5 LTM, Include two proxy servers in the pool.
In regards to using one proxy more than other ? How much, a fixed ratio or more dynamic based on performance/connections ?
You'll need to create a monitor that monitors the proxy effeticley, depending on what proxy you're using - You could do a combined check by browsing to a few well known websites and looking for an appropriate repsonse... (200OK - Or such like)

MM_F_147944First of all thanks for Reply
following are some other queries
Both proxies are in same subnet. should we configure F5 in Layer 2 or Layer 3. if we want to check google reachability as a health monitor what health monitor we have to use and what will be its configuration if not present specifically for google.

The F5 will be configured in both Layer 2 and 3....
Word of warning: Don't just rely on the availability of one website for checks. Google (Or others) could see frequent checking as a mild DDoS type attack, and block the egress IP.
I would implement multiple checks.

Thanks for reply
we will not send ping but we will get the string and what value google will return.
