mod_proxy as load balancer?

           Summary: mod_proxy as load balancer?
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gregw@mortbay.com


Having implemented the AJP13 protocol - I really don't like mod_jk as the
apache load balancer for servlet container.

It would be REALLY good if mod_proxy could be used as part of an apache load
balancing.  Most servlet containers have a good HTTP/1.1 implementation now so
it makes sense to use HTTP as the protocol between an apache based load balancer
and the servlet containers.

Are there any plans to include such functionality in mod_proxy?
Do you think that mod_proxy is the place for such functionality or should be
done in a separate module that then uses mod_proxy (or mod_jk??) to delegate
a request to the servlet container.

If the ProxyPass directive could be given a policy mechanism for determining the
URL base to proxy to, then this would be a load balancer?
