content aware switching

[Ravi Kumar Munnangi]

Hi users,

I have been using mod_backhand for load balancing.
Now I want to use content aware dispatching techique.
Suppose I have 3 servers-x,y,z.
The web content is not fully replicated on these
servers.
In fact I have divided whole web content to three
parts
each served by one server.

Now here there are two cases for dispatching.
1. If a server doesn't know the contents with other
servers.
In this case Iam using the directive "removeSelf"
so that the server which contains the data will
serve.
2. If a server knows the content what other servers
have.
Here which directive will be useful to redirect
the request to a particular server?
what is the difference between HTTPRedirectToName
and HTTPRedirectToIP?
Can I use these directives for this purpose?
Or any other alternative?
Please reply me with where I should put these
directives and with syntax.

thanks,
ravikumar
