+1 on the work, but I question the usefulness of this routing algorithm.
Does reply time (from the backend server)correlate with resource
utilization on the backend server in any but the most contrived cases?
Yes, the algorithm is the average over the predefined amount of time.
Further more Rainer Jung (our newest Tomcat commiter) has done a
great job by rewriting most of the lb algos to be less spiky, so I
plan to port his work to mod_proxy_balancer.
