One thing that we talked I believe in private mail is good to point out on the mailing list as well - the current request cleaning up logic isn't really being kind to proxy settings and how the admins might interpret them - meaning there is nothing in the proxying code that will avoid having individual requests silently dropped on the floor if the timeouts expire.
The intent is to always call "post-proxy fail", but there are cases where that doesn't happen.
Indeed the only way to get the FR 2.x proxy code to retry and move on to a second home server in a pool is for its original *client* to retry too, within max_request_time, which can then trigger a fail-over in the proxying logic.
Yes. The server does *not* originate packets itself. It proxies packets only when the NAS sends it packets. This should be explained more clearly in proxy.conf. Alan DeKok.
