Look at the new mod_proxy_express module in trunk...

It will use the default reverse proxy worker, i.e. you can't have individual pooling and timeout configurations depending on the backend server. Regards, Rainer

creating reverse proxy workers dynamically
Hi, It seems I may need to create HTTPS reverse proxy workers DYNAMICALLY - what is best way to do this? In other words, from manual I see config directive: ProxyPass /example http://backend.example.com connectiontimeout=5 timeout=30 However, I will have several origin servers that aren't necessarily known during config or startup. How can I create such workers as needed? The manual says "fixed configuration": *The proxy manages the configuration of origin servers and their communication parameters in objects called workers. There are two built-in workers, the default forward proxy worker and the default reverse proxy worker. Additional workers can be configured explicitly.* * The two default workers have a fixed configuration and will be used if no other worker matches the request. * Thanks for any ideas.
