Hi Josh,
your assumption is correct. The dh scheduler for IPVS works on addresses
not URLs. IPVS works at L4, does not have access to higher-level
information such as URLs and thus can't use such information in
its schedulers.
The kind of scheduling you are after generally takes place
at layer 7. I imagine that squid can do such things. Ultramonkey-L7
also has this kind of facility.
