I'm not so sure how balancing based on a hash of the Host header would be useful. How would this be useful? I would see an application for balancing on perhaps other headers (like xff as mentioned), but for Host... I dunno... (so basically what I'm saying is, is the code for the 'use_domain_only' bit useful? can it be left out?) -jf -- In the meantime, here is your PSA: "It's so hard to write a graphics driver that open-sourcing it would not help." -- Andrew Fear, Software Product Manager, NVIDIA Corporation http://kerneltrap.org/node/7228
