We will test the consistent hashing again once we have production data (it is not in production yet). We tested only with test data (which are still some hundred thousand urls). > At least try to increase all weights (eg: 100). There should not be > any need for that but it can help. Tried that, but to no avail. I added a weight of 100 and later 256 to each back-end, but the distribution didn't change much. > Please, try to get an extract of your prod > servers' logs and try to replay them through your test machine. Will do that once we have them. Thanks for now Willy, I will keep you informed if we make further experiences.
