Re: [users@httpd] How to define Lbfactor in case of lbmethod = byrequests & lbmethod = bytraffic

[Igor Cicimov <ic...@gmail.com>]

i don't think lbfactor is related to the method but more to the servers
hardware:

lbfactor - weighed-round-robin load balancing where high lbfactor means
stronger machine (that is going to handle more requests)

so if A and B are identical in terms of hardware you use same lbfactor

Hi,
 
But if there are two machines A & B. How Apache will come to know which one is stronger? 
Do we need to define it somewhere?

Hi  Experts,


We are setting up load balacing with Apache


Apache will pass request to servers A & B.



Now if I choose lbmethod=byrequest or bytraffic, how I will set lbfactor?


How Apache server will come to know how much request to pass to server A & server B?
