ModBackhand allows you to also have the balancer on a machine which can also serve the actual requests, have it standalone on a machine with a stripped down Apache or even have multiple balancers for fault tolerance.
It works by the participating servers in the cluster broadcasting (Multicast can also be used for multiple clusters on the same network) stats about themselves (Load, CPU idle time, spare Apache processes, etc.) allowing for the balancer to make informed decisions about distributing requests instead of a naive round robin approach (such as DNS RR).
-One benefit of ModBackhand over other LoadBalancing tools is that it's simple to setup and get a working cluster and
can be combined with other tools to provide complete IP failover ([Whackamole]) and
HighAvailability for logging aswell
(ModLogSpread).
