Instead of limiting the number and thus creating them randomly (according to what traffic happens to hit the server first),
That is part of, I think, both Rüdiger's and my concern. The benefits are this are really really fuzzy when applied to the real world. If you know enough about how the proxies will be used, then trying to figure out how to do it with ProxyPass (esp. now with the Match version) is likely better. If not, then creating a limit means that the ones created first get the benefits and the ones "after" the limit don't. To me, this implies some sort of staleness factor should be implemented, such that if "older" ones haven't been used they should be removed to make space for newer ones...
