I created a patch for the mod_proxy docs to clarify what a worker is.
The old part of the docs never talk about workers and then later down
when the 2.2 attributes are described we suddenly start using that
terminology.
I got also confused by the worker sharing (worker already used by
worker) as well as by the ordering issues for ProxyPass so I added all
this to the following docs patch:
http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/mod_proxy_docs_workers.patch
I think the additions are correct and helpful, but it would be nice if
one of our proxy specialists could take a quick view at it before I
commit. I hope the addition is not to confusing.
Actually looking at the generated HTML page is nicer, so you can find it
here:
http://people.apache.org/~rjung/httpd/trunk/manual/mod/mod_proxy.html.en
The new things are the section "Workers"
http://people.apache.org/~rjung/httpd/trunk/manual/mod/mod_proxy.html.en#workers
and the extended warning about ordering in
http://people.apache.org/~rjung/httpd/trunk/manual/mod/mod_proxy.html.en#proxypass
IMHO the same docs addition would be good for 2.2.

Rainer
