PHP随机化一个数组

Question

I am using an array as an attempt for "load balance" several RTMP servers.

$servers = array(
'1.1.1.1',
'2.2.2.2',
);
$edge = $servers[array_rand($settings)];

but this code does not help much; I end up with 3k on one servers 2k in the other.

I was thinking of taking advantage of APC and cache the last IP given, to keep track of aa better ip distribution among the users.

what I need is like the person gets ip 1.1.1.1 the next gets ip 2.2.2.2 to maintain the servers with a closer range of users instead of 3k on one and 2k in the other.

I could use MySQL, but I'll probably hammer the server with all the request.

what is the best way I can achieve a proper distribution of the ips?

Here's a simple example of how you could cycle three array keys using php memcached:

$servers = ['1.1.1.1','2.2.2.2','3.3.3.3'];
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer('localhost', 11211);
$key = $m->get('server');
if ($key === false) $key = 0;
echo $servers[$key];
if (++$key > count($servers) - 1) $key = 0;
$m->set('server', $key);
