sounds like you already have an idea of how to implement it and just want feedback on what parameters it should consider.
from past experience, many people use a simple Hash when all the system have the same hardware. When it is not, I would think memory and network IO would be the biggest factors. CPU shouldn't really be a factor unless you're using a ton of XML. this topic is pretty rich, so you should be able to find sample algorithms for calculating the weight. peter On Wed, 18 Aug 2004 18:27:18 +0530, Srinivas Rao Ch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>AFAIK - There isn't anythng like this yet.
