# Weight

The relative proportion of actions to send to different child servers when LoadBalanceMethod=`2`.

NOTE: If you set `Weight=0`, the engine is used only if no other child engine is available.

If you create a server group by specifying a comma-separated list of host names in the Host parameter, you can use a single value for `Weight` so that all child servers in the group have the same weight. Alternatively, you can use a comma-separated list to use different weights for each mirrored child server. In this case, there must be the same number of values in `Weight` as there are for Host.

Type: | Long
Default: | 100
Allowed Range: | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 10000
Recommended Range: | Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1000
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | IDOLServer`N` or DistributedEngine`N` or DAHEngine`N`
Example: | `[IDOLServer0] Host=machine1 Port=5600 Weight=75 [IDOLServer1] Host=machine2 Port=7800 Weight=25` In this example, actions are distributed between `IDOLServer0` and `IDOLServer1` in a 3:1 ratio.
