Abstract(in English) The consistent hash method is known as a load balancing method for the case where a large number of requests are to be handled by multiple servers. However, if the frequencies of requests for domain names, which are used as keys for the hash calculation, are unbalanced, as is the case with Web cache servers and DNS servers, it cause an uneven distribution of the load to servers. To solve this problem, this paper presents a load balancing system in which keys are classified into groups according to the frequency at which they are requested, and a different load balancing method is applied to each key group based on a single parameter. An evaluation of the proposed method using simulation has confirmed that the system can successfully balance the load on a reasonable number of servers in cases where the consistent hash method cannot be applied.
