Mailing List Archive: [mod_backhand-users] Load Balancing?

Wade,

mod_backhand is peer to peer. It isn't designed to just redirect all requests
to host X. You can use mod_rewrite for that.

If you have a set of hosts and you want to HTTP redirect to them, you should
run mod_backhand on all of them and then use the HTTPRedirectByName candidacy
function. There is information and examples in the FAQ
http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/FAQ.shtml#question7

Good luck.
