I use node-hashring on a Redis environment where I have 128 instances of redis in a sharded environment. Half of the instances live on one box, and the other half live on the second box. For some reason, the instances living on the second box seem to be getting twice as much data as the instances on the first box.

I did not use weights, but it is as if all the instances on the second box had a weight of 2 whereas the instances on the first box had a weight of 1.

Do you have any explanation as to what might be happening?
