Just wondering - do you know mod_backhand?

I love very much the way how it recalculates where the request should go on
the fly via its "candidacy functions". Of course I would love to see
something similiar in nginx.

That would require a method of comunication between upstream servers
(php-cgi, mongrels, whatever) and nginx, as upstreams should be able to
inform nginx about their state and the state of the machine they're on.
Anyone interested in implementing something in this direction?
