You're right -- I was being weird. Sorry.
No apology needed :)
I guess part of the reason for my asking was whether the ASF was
basically saying "we're not chasing this problem, see mod_cluster
folk if you need it solved" -- and, if so, hoping to get a little
starting info as to what I'd be getting into chasing mod_cluster.
I'd like to see this capability in httpd itself -- or at least have
it very easy to add in a very seamless fashion via a pluggable
custom balancer algorithm (without other larger configuration side
effects) -- and thus would hope the ASF sees this as within the
scope of httpd's core suite of modules.
I think it's safe to say that there is enough interest here in the
httpd dev team for this capability to be part of httpd itself...
What we like to do is provide the basic implementation and capability
and allow others to build on top of that if needed.
