I guess it could be like this: when Mladen originally implemented the by
requests load balancing method in mod_jk he used the count and subtract
method for the counters. He then ported this to mod_proxy_balancer and I
think it is still, how by requests counting woorks there.
There are pros and cons, e.g. in case a worker goes down for some time.
A bit later we switched in mod_jk to a count and divide, where division
by 2 was done roughly every 60 seconds (configurable).
I think the idea of the age method was roughly, that you could implement
a balanvcer method, that registers a mod_watchdog task, that regularly
ages the balancing counters. Aging because you want to give the past a
smaller influence on the balancing decision than the more recent activity.
I hope that's understandable and maybe Jim remembers something similar
to that.
Best regards,
Rainer

Cool I will wait before implementing something that breaks your design ;-)

Hi,
Any examples or docs about:
apr_status_t (*age)(proxy_balancer *balancer, server_rec *s);
In struct proxy_balancer_method?
