Great news, this will be a huge step also for the case of Zope zeo- 
deployments. One question, how is the busy state determined? In case  
of zeo each backend client can take some defined number of requests  
in parallel, how is such a case handled? (Not knowing mongrels, are  
they taking only one request each?)

With regards,
