so if I correctly understand your reply, the closest solution to my question is to use "balance leastconn" so that the weights of servers will be adjusted on the fly according to the number of requests per second they have processed. the drawback is that this algorithm is not suited for HTTP sessions

Using “balance leastconn” will give the faster servers a little more as they will clear their connections quicker.

I would like to know whether it is possible to dynamically change the weight of a server depending on its response time. Thanks! sihem
