## Handler: Generic Balancer

This is the generic handler that provides the specific balancing strategy provided by the balancer modules. Check the documentation for Balancers for information about the necessary parameters for any of these.

Other handlers provide balancing mechanisms. Those are the FastCGI and the SCGI handler. If you are not using any of those but want to distribute the load among several servers, this is the handler you should be using.
