Just a reminder about this, providing a way to phase out a server by only 
accepting existing sessions/routed requests. 
 
|51247|New|Enh|2011-05-23|Enhance mod_proxy and _balancer with worker status
 
I've reviewed the other patch 
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48841 and I had a similar 
idea, wondering if the route-only intent would happen if I tried to set 
lbfactor=0 but it only allowed values 1-100 and I worried about the complexity 
of changing the lbmethod formulae so using a separate status code seemed 
cleaner.  It's a bit of a magic value, but an intuitive one I think.  On the 
user surface lbfactor=0 requires less change than my ROUTE_ONLY to the 
configuration and balancer-manager but it needs some documentation to clarify 
the intent.
 
I also attached a patch to 
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51247 for the trunk, but 
since I'm having trouble with the overall compile it's "in theory".  Please 
forgive compile issues, but I wanted to at least share the thought and will 
update when I can verify a compile and test run.

In the end, either solution can work, and my hope is that multiple attempts at 
the same goal make a stronger case to bring the functionality to the 2.2.x 
stream for people to enjoy sooner rather than later.

I hope to spent some time diving into mod_simple… I have some
uncommitted patches that I need to re-look at.
