This is what I see when I look at the bundle.
With what external mechanisms that exist today? Over what protocol?
In use today by mod_proxy_balancer?
The protocol allows to exchange heartbeat info between multiple
httpd instances and as such is irrelevant.
Although could be made public so that other app servers can
post their status to heartmonitor allowing to add/remove
group members when they go on/off line (at least that's the idea).
I'll review the docs myself next
week when I come up for air, but what I don't want to do is ship
something a typical user can't directly take advantage of without
third party modules.
No third party modules is needed.
You need frontend httpd and bunch of backend httpd+php or something
like that.
