pylon-balancer

pylon-balancer

this is a pylon-client which queries/subscribes the pylon-server for keys holding arrays containing proxy-informations. these proxy-informations will be used to create a proxy-table for http-proxy.

• apps can report for duty by telling the pylon-server the proxy-informations
• one or more pylon-balancers can connect to the pylon-server and proxy requests according to the proxy-informations
• pylon-balancer implements sticky-sessions per ip (idea shamelessly stolen from https://github.com/indutny/sticky-session)

p.set
( 'balancer'
, { routes : ['foo.bar.com']  // routes which should be proxied to the app
  , port   : 3434             // the port on which the app is listening
  , host   : ''               // optional, per default it will use the
