Hi, We have ~20 of xrootd servers at UCSD, all of them do something else, too, and are thus under different load. This led to practically all requests going to a few servers only so I set cms.sched to do round-robin. But this does't help much, the open requests are still mostly sent to the same few servers. Could it be that "cms.dfs lookup distrib" causes the redirector to send the client to the "fastest to respond" server instead of decoupling verify and redirect steps?
