URL Rotator With Weighted Email Sending Capability
I want to capture contact information and then send it to members of a co-op based on how many shares they have purchased. In other words I want to send people off of a radio ad to one URL and then have the people in the co-op immediately get the contact information and If I got 10 shares in the co-op, not only do I get the leads based on my shares, but I want to make sure that everyone is sent the contacts that they paid for and no one is left out.

Selling shares.. of leads that will be generated from Radio/TV ads. If I buy 5 shares and several buy 1 share and some buy 3 shares... I want the leads that are being sent to a specific URL to be distributed so that everyone gets their order all the 1, 3 , 5.. Previously I had done this by just giving the persons with multiple shares multiple email addresses... I want to distribute the leads that are generated fairly and accurately.
Do you mean that if there are 9 leads, you want to get 5 of them of them, someone else to get 3 of them, and the other person to get 1 of them?
Do you want it to be random which leads go where, or should it follow a specific schedule?
Do you need to have the distribution as close to fair as possible after each lead? or should it even out over the long run?

Yes to your first statement, random with it even out over the long run for the duration of the co-op which would be until everyone got the leads they paid for.

If random is acceptable, I'd use the cumulative probability: Assuming you have 5, 3 & 1 from your example, you have a total of 9. Therefore you generate a random number between 1 and 9, and if:
1..5 : person a.
6..8 : person b.
9 : person c

Thank you ozo but the numbers I gave were hypothetical .. What language is this ?
I was looking at commercial URL rotators that would be able to distribute these leads automatically to as many different email addresses as there are participants in the co-op.

Could you give some examples of what you want to happen in what situations?
