Author perlbal with lighttpd

Anyone on this list use perlbal with lighttpd? I'm wondering what your
experiences have been, especially under higher loads.

Also, for reverse_proxy services, there are two fields in particular I'm
curious about:
SET persist_backend = true
SET verify_backend = true

I was wondering if lighty supports these. In my case each lighty server
would be talking to only a few perlbals, so I think persist_backend would be
fine (right?). However, I couldn't find any info online as to whether lighty
supports the "OPTIONS" request that perlbal will make for verify_backend.
I'm using lighttpd 1.4.18 and perlbal 1.59 BTW.

Well, try it. :-)

As long as you can do 'OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' to lighthttpd and get
back a good response, Perlbal will work with the verify_backend option. The
persist_backend option should work regardless - Perlbal will try to persist
according to HTTP rules and if it can't, it can't.
