I guess we should create a directive like DefineWorker (I do
not really care about
the exact name), that enables the administrator to define /
create a worker.
That would be really handy for mod_rewrite as in the reverse
proxy case the number of
different backend targets are usually limited and known to
the administrator.
This would avoid the need for nasty tricks like "pseudo
balancers" with only one member.
