The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::DNAT
DSLIP: adpOp

rationale:
Roughly based on the concept of F5's BIG-IP® Accelerator, it is
intended to perform psuedo layered packet switching for incoming
requests. This is mainly for developmental purposes or testing
functionality for applications designed for the BIG-IP®; however,
it is much slower in execution. It does not handle over 1000
hits/sec very well, (like the BIG-IP® does), because it is actually
implemented like a proxy server. But my module is less expensive
(free).
This module can also make it easy to combine the power and speed of
mod_perl handlers with the security of suExec for many users on one
machine. (This used to be extremely difficult to utilize
simultaneously.)
It is perfect for redirecting HTTP requests to different pools of
machines behind a firewall based on its URL via Destination Network
Address Translation. The original source IP Address and Port is
retained so Apache logging and CGI programs will still execute
accurately.
