</P><P><TT>ejabberd</TT> includes an algorithm to load balance the components that are plugged on an <TT>ejabberd</TT> cluster. It means that you can plug one or several instances of the same component on each <TT>ejabberd</TT> cluster and that the traffic will be automatically distributed.</P><P>The default distribution algorithm try to deliver to a local instance of a component. If several local instances are available, one instance is chosen randomly. If no instance is available locally, one instance is chosen randomly among the remote component instances.</P><P>If you need a different behaviour, you can change the load balancing behaviour with the option <TT>domain_balancing</TT>. The syntax of the option is the following:
