That is, "bug" and "feature request", not "bug and feature" request.
As I reported in http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39907 I'm finding that with the worker MPM and a pristine httpd 2.2.2 on an i386 Debian platform, changes I make to the configuration within balancer-manager will periodically reset -- and it's faster under load. I can see the code where the config is being set, but I don't quite know whether this is process-local or not. If so, this would explain the symptoms. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll have a bash at fixing this bug. The feature request: sometimes we need to take down an origin server on a planned basis. The app is session-based so we can't just disable it completely. Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to set the load factor for an origin server to 0? At present it's constrained to the range 1..100 inclusive. If I had some form of session replication, I could use route-redirect and then just disable it, but this is not possible for me.
