Dynamic Reverse Proxying

hi.

we have a need to be able to, based on a part of the URL/Note in the notes table, to determine which application server/path we will r-proxy the request to, and the timeout values we expect from the app.

we plan on doing this via setting a couple of application notes, and writing a request handler which will understand these.

My question(s):
* can this be done already with existing proxy code?

• is this kind of thing of interest to the 'proxy' group and it's users? (ie... should I munge mod_proxy to handle it) or is this not the direction the proxy stuff wants to go in?

Cheers
Ian
