Do you know of any Debian/ubuntu packages which include your module?
Obviously I can build from source, but widely-used packages are so
much easier from an operational standpoint. Auditors like them too...

For that matter, what is the process for a module like this getting
into mainline nginx? I would think that nginx->Tomcat is a common use
case based on the number of questions in this forum, and most
Servlet-based applications which run on Tomcat require sticky sessions
based on session cookie (source IP isn't reliable in a mobile device
world).
