Author only redirection with perlbal

Is there a way to configure perlbal such that it simply redirects the request to a single server, cache connections and avoids the overhead of load balancing?

What overhead? I frequently use it like that.

It is just an assumption. Perlbal must be performing some tasks related with load balancing even if there is only one server in its pool. I want to avoid these load balancing tasks.

It's very very very minimal if any impact at all.

Agreed. I have three "real" installations of Perlbal where I'm simply=20
using it as a reverse proxy with no load balancing. The only noticable=20
overhead is that the configuration file is very verbose for something so=20
simple.
