I'm a little mystified as to the usefulness of this as well. I mean,
what does hashing the domain name solve that just balancing back to a
bunch of Apache instances with virtual hosting turned on doesn't? Are
you saying that you have domains like en.example.com, fr.example.com
and you want them all to be sticky to the same backend server when
they balance? If that's the case, I could see that being useful if
the
site in question were doing some sort of expensive per-user asset
generation that was being cached on the server. Is this what you are
talking about?
There are proxies which can do prefetching, and in this case, it's
desirable that all requests for a same domain name pass through the
same cache.
