I'm not so sure how balancing based on a hash of the Host header would
be useful. How would this be useful? I would see an application for
balancing on perhaps other headers (like xff as mentioned), but for
Host... I dunno... (so basically what I'm saying is, is the code for
the 'use_domain_only' bit useful? can it be left out?)
