Next major thing I'll be dropping is something else that has been long on my
TODO: Allow backend servers to Announce themselves to the front end-reverse
proxy. I know that mod_cluster does this/use to do this by overloading some
HTTP headers, but I always wanted something very fast and light. I originally
considered nanomsg (that shows how long I've been working on this, off and on),
but settled on nng.
Right now that's all it does: backends can announce themselves as available and
httpd will add them to the balancer set (and remove them if they go silent)...
It provides the framework needed for more in-depth health and availability data
at some point.
