JRS - Proxying v2

[Alan DeKok]

  OK... two new features.

server_pool foo {
	# hash the source IP, and pick one of the
	# home servers.
	type = client-balance
	...
}

  Nice, but not rocket science.  Even nicer is the templates:

#
#  Holds default configurations for other sections
#  best used when the data is repeated a lot.
#
templates {
	#
	#  Default configurations for all home_servers.
	#  Note: no second name.
	#  Note: entries given here are over-ridden by
	#        entries in a real home_server
	#
	home_server {
		zombie_period = 15
		...
	}

	#
	#  Name a specific template
	home_server companyX {
		zombie_period = 13
		...
	}
}

#
#  And some examples...
#
home_server foo {
	...
	# no zombie_period: choose zombie_period from the template
}

home_server bar {
	# over-rides what's in the template
	zombie_period = 20
}

home_server dud {
	...
	#
	#  Choose a particular home_server template
	#
	template = companyX
}

  I think this will do much the same thing you've been trying to do with
include files, but with less work.

  It's ~80 lines of code, and very cool...
