suggestions about load-balance/cluster

[Jorge Pereira]

Hi Matthew,

    Good to know that more people are working with it. It would be
great to us share ideas. I am looking for another solutions to after
research can choose the best approach to be applied.
I think that use of keyed-balance will be the best way. But, I really
would like to hear more people talking about that.

About the ways to based the requests, I have used the Acct-Session-Id
which is the key of storage. below a example.

"%{redis: HSET %{Acct-Session-Id} Client-Shortname %{client:shortname}}"

My gTalk is jpereiran at gmail.com, feel free to add and talk about some ideas.
