I have probably mentioned it before, but I really like how Perlbal checks that a backend is working and responding to requests with an OPTIONS * (configurable) request before sending real requests down that connection.
That way the backend can just disconnect and stop responding to the OPTIONS requests when it doesn't or can't do more work. - ask _______________________________________________ varnish-dev mailing list varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-dev
