It is much less feature-full + than <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code>, which also provides + dynamic growth, but is intended to handle much, much + larger numbers of backends. It is ideally suited as a + front-end HTTP switch and for micro-services architectures.</p> + + <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>.</p> + + <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3> + <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>.
