            Bug ID: 61791
           Summary: make mod_proxy 'honor DNS ttl' with enablereuse on
                    (dnsttl, addressTTL ?)
           Product: Apache httpd-2

diff to add dnsttl parameter to ProxyPass

When ProxyPass backend is a hostname and enablereuse is On, the DNS resolution
is done at child startup only.

It may be an issue in environments with auto-scaling, e.g. AWS : 
   * 'disablereuse on' is not a good solution for perfs.
   * MaxConnectionsPerChild is not precise enough to make child restart

Idea is to have parameter 'dnsttl' added to ProxyPass.
If an IP change is detected after a dnsttl : update worker->cp->addr with new
value.
New connections are made to new addr, old stay unchanged ( e.g. for AWS grace
period )

Attached is a very simple patch [*] to summ-up the idea.
[*] patch done on httpd-2.4.29 for very simple testing only (not prod ready!)

Similar has been discussed in mailing lists several times.

@Yann, maybe your 'addressTTL' patch does answer the need.
