''This module is not distributed with the Nginx source. Installation instructions are [[#Installation|below]].''

The upstream_fair module sends an incoming request to the least-busy backend server, rather than distributing requests round-robin.

Example:

<geshi lang="nginx">
upstream backend {
server server1;
server server2;
fair;
}
</geshi>

== fair ==
'''syntax''' ''fair''

'''context''' ''upstream''

Enables fairness.

== upstream_fair_shm_size ==
'''syntax''' ''upstream_fair_shm_size size''

'''default''' ''upstream_fair_shm_size 32k''

'''context''' ''main''

Size of the shared memory for storing information about the busy-ness of backends. Defaults to 8 pages (so 32k on most systems).

= Installation =
This module is not distributed with the Nginx source. You can browse its [http://github.com/gnosek/nginx-upstream-fair/tree/master git repository] , or [http://github.com/gnosek/nginx-upstream-fair/tarball/master download the tar ball] .

After extracting, add the following option to your Nginx ./configure command:

<pre>
--add-module=path/to/upstream_fair/directory
</pre>

Then "make" and "make install" as usual.
