>Description:
I'm building a site where data is stored in database files, and pages 
will be rendered on demand.  Rendering is a compute intensive task.  It struck
me that the ProxyPass function could do load balancing of sorts, if it could 
walk a circular list of identical remote proxies.  ie.

ProxyPass /xyz http://sys1/ http://sys2/ http://sys3/

The database changes minute-by-minute so pre-rendering all the pages isn't
a viable option.  

Is this reasonable?

Thanks.
