>From the website: mod_backhand is project that allows seamless redirection of HTTP requests from one web server to another. This redirection can be used to target machines with under-utilized resources, thus providing fine-grained, per-request load balancing of web requests. I've never used it, but it looks drool-worthy from what I read on the website. http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ -- Steve <dark> Nothing wrong with being written in perl. <dark> Some of my best friends are written in perl. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
