Modern distribution systems use replication to improve communication delay experienced by their clients. Some techniques have been developed for web server replica placement. One of the previous studies was Greedy algorithm proposed by Qiu et al, that needs knowledge about network topology. In This paper, first we introduce a genetic algorithm for web server replica placement. Second, we compare our algorithm with Greedy algorithm proposed by Qiu et al, and Optimum algorithm. We found that our approach can achieve better results than Greedy algorithm proposed by Qiu et al but it's computational time is more than Greedy algorithm.
