How to select the directory index file for load balancing?

Hello,

probably a simple question for you, but I could not find a solution:

I use backhand to load-balance php requests. All the rest should be
processed by the original server. The "Files" selection in the configuration
below does that for me.

The problem: The directory index file "index.php" is not load balanced if
the request is "http://DOMAINNAME/", it only works as
"http://DOMAINNAME/index.php". How can I modify the selection (or add
another) to capture the directory index php file when it is not given in the
URL? (Apache/1.3.20 mod_backhand/1.2.0)

I would be grateful for any help.

Thomas
