# Distributed Action Handler

The DAH distributes actions between Knowledge Discovery components.

The most common use of DAH is to distribute queries to multiple Content components. In this case, DAH can either distribute between identical Content components, for load balancing and failover, or it can distribute and combine results from multiple Content components that each contain a part of the whole index.

You can also use DAH to distribute actions between multiple copies of any ACI server. In this case, it can balance load over servers to allow you to scale your system.
