Here is more detail of what I was pondering with the reverse proxy.
Topic - Extend the balancer webapp to allow for reverse proxy
Description
-------------
Write a 2.4 compliant Servlet Filter which will allow tomcat (or any other
compliant engine) to act as a reverse proxy.
Constraints
-----------
- Use no tomcat internal specific api's
- Allow for other filters to wrap this so caching would be allowed
- Allow for pluggable proxy rules much like the balancer is implemented
Rules to create
-----------
- simple match rule which is one-to-one mapping back to a single server based
on a URL prefix
Nice to haves
-------------
- Use a pool of connections to take advantage of keep-alive capabilitites
- A partner caching filter which can cache to memory/disk/???
- A partner filter which can provide rudimentary content rewriting for hosts
which return an incorrect hostname
- cluster rule - So tomcat fronts a cluster of servers for the following
scenarios 1) round robin 2) random 3) sticky

I think there should be proposals, like this one which seems good, then
have a vote on all these.
Please be quick for the proposals as there's a deadline, apparently, so
I'd say this needs to be wrapped up and the wiki edited by the end of
next week.
