Description

We're using mod_proxy_backend_http for balancing image requests to our squids with balance type carp.
One Backend gets ~ 10x more requests then the other..

My config:
server.modules += ( "mod_proxy_core", "mod_proxy_backend_http")

$HTTPurl =~ "^/xa/" {
proxy-core.balancer = "carp"
proxy-core.protocol = "http"
proxy-core.allow-x-sendfile = "enable"
proxy-core.backends = ( "192.168.66.201:82" )
proxy-core.max-pool-size = 256
}

$HTTPurl =~ "^/xb/s/" {
proxy-core.balancer = "carp"
proxy-core.protocol = "http"
proxy-core.allow-x-sendfile = "enable"
proxy-core.backends = ( "192.168.66.206:82", "192.168.66.205:82" )
proxy-core.max-pool-size = 1024
}

$HTTPurl =~ "^/xb/n/" {
...}

My problem is with the /xb/s balancing: i attach two munin graphics from our squids (both using excactly the same hardware and config) - one has about 200-300 req/s, the other 20-30.
/xa is hit hard with 1000-1500req/s and works fine - so my backends aren't the problem..
