Refactoring the code into mod_proxy(_balancer) defeats the purpose of loadable balancer modules and documenting the requirement sounds like working around the issue. -- Daniel Ruggeri

Maybe there could be a very simple lbmethod that isn't byrequests, and is always available?

I considered that, but byrequests has no real dependencies and is already under 200 lines of physical code.
