how about using the counter to store an id of the mirrors instead of randomly picking one? this will provide you a sequential traverse through all mirror sites.
if there are 10 sites, the counter will always be from 0 -> 9. this way each mirror site will have equal share on hits. so if the counter == 2, your script will know that the next hit will be to mirror site 2. $_nextSite = (isset($_nextSite))?++$_nextSite % 10:0; the above code will always ensure the counter counts from: 0 -> 9 -> 0 -> ... this way, you can store all counters (into database?) on the main site for all mirrors. > > "Andrew Conner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu na mensagem > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > >>Hello, >>I have a script (at bottom) that, upon loading, will randomly select a >>mirror or primary server (on average, the primary servers will be selected >>twice as much).
