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

What overhead?  I frequently use it like that.

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

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

>=20

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.
