I haven't done much testing with mod_proxy_http as a forward proxy,
but 40k seems really good ! ... will it be possible for you share your
mpm model and related parameters and what test tool do you use to
generate that load ?

Of course, I've coerced a stock mod_disk_cache/mod_proxy_http httpd server
to over 40k rps on normal serevr hardware. It all depends on the benchmark.

FWIW, the more code we can play with, the better.  Who knows what goodies we
may find.

This sounds awesome. Can it act as a forward proxy as well ? I guess
we will find out once the source is released.

The 35000 rps is for reverse proxy or forward proxy ?

This looks wonderful to me. I've been using Varnish and Nginx as
reverse proxies a lot lately and have used mod_proxy a bunch in the
past - they are all extremely useful tools and I believe there is
still more room for additional tools.
