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.
