hello, have a quick question and I'm not following the discussion on 
MulticastStats and its relation to AcceptStats.

Ok, let's say I have:
server 1 at www.zzz.com on IP address 1.2.3.4
server 2 at www2.zzz.com on IP address 5.6.7.8


What I want to happen is externally everyone still sees 1.2.3.4 as the IP 
(this is the broadcast IP?) for www.zzz.com, but I will load mod_backhand on 
both servers so that they can share the load of requests for www.zzz.com.

Can you simply list the statements I need in the communication section of 
httpd.conf for each server?  That would be most helpful.

I think I figured if you are sitting on the main server, the list of 
AcceptStats entries represents the list of servers you are prepared to 
connect to for load balancing, is this correct?  How can I set which one is 
the "main" server, thanks.


To add a monkey wrench...  I noticed from some links I found, it's on a 
port-by-port listening basis.  Can I set mod_backhand to only share the load 
on port 80?   I want all SSL requests to remain on 1.2.3.4.   Now, having 
said that, will the load algorithm take into account that there are some 
"unshared" requests?

Thanks in advance!
