We have developed content-aware request distribution algorithm called FARD which is a client-and-server-aware, dynamic and
adaptive distribution policy in cluster-based Web systems. It assigns each incoming request to the server with the least expected
response time. To estimate the expected response times it uses the fuzzy estimation mechanism. The system is adaptive as it
uses a neural network learning ability for its adaptation. Simulations based on traces from the 1998 World Cup show that when
we consider the response time, FARD can be more effective than the state-of-the-art content-aware policy LARD.
