Provided is a controller for dynamically balancing load between different servers using different thresholds that are continually modified for each of the servers. The controller may generate a baseline load measure based on load measures received from the different servers, and may configure a first threshold for a first server and a second threshold for a second server based on the load measure at the first server deviating from the baseline load measure by a first amount that is greater than a second amount by which the load measure at the second server deviates from the baseline load measure. The controller may allocate an additional server to distribute first content with the first server in response to first content load at the first server satisfying the first threshold and the same load or a greater load of second content at the second server not satisfying the second threshold.
