monitoring for load balancing

[Ben Reubenstein]

Hi ~

If I understand the current proxying system correctly, it is just a
simple round robin.  So when a request comes in the requests are
handed out from the first process and so on.  This can cause a request
to be "stuck" in line.  There is a fair scheduler in the works, more
info here:

As far as monitoring the individual processes, I will often just pop
into the box and take a look via various *nix tools.
