the concepts of ratio and election hash are kind of at odds with each other, as one is purely based on performance and the other is purely based on deterministic outcomes. I'd really have to think about this one, but first thought is to pool only the like-performance servers, so you'd end up with a squidpool, a bluecoatpool, & and cacheflowpool. First, perform your ratio distribution between pools, then once a pool is selected, perform the election hash. In instances of failure, you could revert to another pool as necessary. This should take some careful planning and much testing...
