In my own hacked proxy, an external healthchecker and the proxy share
a piece of shared memory that is "read-only" by apache and read-write
by the external health check. This is not scoreboard info, just some
health info. The 2 are separate things.
Right I just have to make the slot little bigger, that is cheaper that
having a semaphore for that.
