Thanks.
But be careful, there was a small typo in yesterdays patch:

+      max_spare_servers => $min_spare_servers,
should be:
+      max_spare_servers => $max_spare_servers,

The corrected version is attached. Sorry about that.

Yes, I agree. I'd also recommend it's usage only to some special setups.
