Ok, how should we handle the local_worker list? The current code depends on one 
worker list. And for requests with a session its easier to look into one list. 
Is it ok to have the balanced_workers and one ore more of these workers could be 
  in the local_worker list? Then we could leave must of the code in validate 
function untouched and after getting all the workers we go through the 
local_worker list, if any, and move the worker from this list at the beginning 
of the balanced_workers and mark them as local. Would this be ok? Oterwise we 
have to handle two lists and it would be possible to have only local workers and 
no balanced_workers. Then the lb_module makes no sense, but it is configurable 
and we have to deal with this. Another solution is to have two lists in config 
but only one in lb_worker. But then we have to rewrite most of the code in 
validate and handle memory etc. You know I'm not so experienced in C, so I would 
prefere the first suggestion :).
