1) it is not currently possibly to add proxy workers without a graceful restart, meaning you either need to script or have an admin do something every time you add a node in the cloud. 2) I am tired of monolithic modules like mod_proxy -- mod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor are good examples, they do one thing, and provide that information to other modules to use, they aren't the 'entire stack' in one module -- which is what doing it directly in mod_proxy_balancer would do. mod_proxy's internals also need serious rethought, any time you have structures with 50+ members, we did something wrong in the design. > I think also mod_rest_cache could be utilized to invalidate objects > throughout various cloud CDN's. I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I assume you want the ability to send PURGE requests to servers to clear their on disk caches? Thanks, Paul
