Should general support for a query URL be provided in

Can you explain more? I don't get the question.
What I mean is
• Should mod_proxy_balancer be extended to provide a balancer
algorithm in which one specifies a backend URL that will provide a
single numeric health metric, throttle the number of such requests via
a time-to-live associated with this information, and balance on this
basis or
• Should mod_cluster handle this issue?
• Or both?
Please recall that, afaik, mod_cluster is not AL nor is it part
of Apache. So asking for direction for what is basically an external
project on the Apache httpd dev list is kinda weird :)
Yep there is a JBoss list for that: mod_cluster-...@lists.jboss.org
In any case, I think the hope of the ASF is that this capability is
part of httpd, and you can see, with mod_heartbeat and the like,
efforts in the direction.
Yes I am experimenting there too.
