Tatsuo, thank you very much for your answer, I read some topics about this and 
I found the answer. One question. Backend_weight is a probabilistic number from 
0 to 1??

You can use any integers you want, then pgpool-II will compute the "load balancing" ratio for each of your backend nodes.

E.g: Imagine I have the following settings in my pgpool-II conf:
...
backend_hostname0 = 'node-main'
backend_port0 = 5432
backend_weight0 = 1000
backend_hostname1 = 'node-rescue'
backend_port1 = 5432
backend_weight1 = 1
...

After restarted pgpool-II, you will be able to check the "load balancing" ratio thanks to the pcp commands:

$ pcp_node_info 10 127.0.0.1 9898 login password 1
node-rescue 5432 1 0.000999
$ pcp_node_info 10 127.0.0.1 9898 login password 0
node-main 5432 2 0.999001

So here, 99% of the requests will be executed on 'node-main' (theoretically).

Hope this will help.

Asunto: Re: [Pgpool-general] About load balancing!!!

It's precisely explained in the pgpool-II document. Have you read it?
Especially figures?

Hello every one in the list, Recently I need to make a presentation in my work 
about replication solutions for PostgreSQL, and I need to know how works the 
algoritms for making load balancing in Pgpool-II. This answer is very important 
for my.

Thank you very much for your time.
Regards.
