Hi there,

Im trying to balance traffic based on an specific variable located on the
querystring requested. for example,

if the request is :

foo.com/whocares.php?a=111&b=222 goes to machine 1
foo.com/whocares.php?a=111&b=333 goes to machine 2
...

do i need to use myu own candi function for this...?
do i need to install mod_backhand on every node if im gonna make the chooice
based on the request?

Thanks in advance,

So, how did you get from those query strings to machine 1 and machine 2?
222 means machine1 and 333 means machine 2?
