It's expected that consistent hashing won't provide an even

each server to even out the traffic if you want a smooth distribution
of requests to backends.
Granted that the request distribution might not entirely even, but
only back-end 1 and 7 receive requests at all. the five others won't
get even one request. Also not if I manually add weight definitions to
the back-ends.
Appears as if I'm at a loss here.
How varied is your "site" param? are there many variations or just a few
similar strings?
Willie is it possible to make a stand alone program that can take a list of
strings as input and return the (consistent) hashed values so that people can
check them?
