The idea is to send a simple OPTIONS * to the backend
and hope for a reply.
Would it be more useful to have active healthchecking to backend
servers?
Ie, periodically hit a url on each origin and mark them up/down
based on
response. Only send traffic to up servers. I think mod_backhand does
something similar but much more complex (?).
I had started looking to add this to balancer, but I have no time.
That was the other option as well... some sort of hearbeat
loop which updates worker status. Still, we get into the issue
with how much of "how proxy connects to and communicates with
the backend" to honor or work around.
