Today in #httpd, someone asked why the CacheLock directive wasn't

recognised.
Turns out he was using httpd 2.2.3 and CacheLock was introduced in
2.2.15, however no documentation (even the change log at
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.2) explicitly says which
version a directive is introduced in; I had to make an educated guess
based on the "thundering herd" description.
Postfix does this;
address_verify_relayhost (default: $relayhost)
Overrides the relayhost parameter setting for address
verification probes. This information can be overruled
with the transport(5) table.
This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
Would it be particularly difficult to start doing this for httpd too?
If not for 2.2.x, at least consider it for 2.4.x
Yes, we already do this. It's the "compatibility" section in the
directive docs, as seen here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/core.html#defaulttype
just to pick an example at random.
I see that someone beat me to adding it to the CacheLock directive. :)
