We will test the consistent hashing again once we have production data (it is not in production yet). We tested only with test data (which are still some hundred thousand urls).

Tried that, but to no avail. I added a weight of 100 and later 256 to each back-end, but the distribution didn't change much.

Will do that once we have them.
Thanks for now Willy, I will keep you informed if we make further experiences.
