Synopsis

byLoad [bias - a floating point number]
Default none 
Directory

The byLoad function produces a list of servers sorted by load. The bias argument, a floating-point number, lets you prefer the server that originally catches the request by offsetting the extra cost of forwarding it. In other words, it may pay to let the first server cope with the request, even if it is not quite the least loaded. Sensible values would be in the region of 0 to 1.0.
