+Description
+===========
+
+...
+
+Options
+=======
+
+lighttpd provides the Proxy support via the proxy-module
+(mod_proxy) which provides 2 options in the config-file:
+
+:proxy.debug:
+  a value between 0 and 65535 to set the debug-level in the
+  Proxy module. Currently only 0 and 1 are used. Use 1 to
+  enable some debug output, 0 to disable it.
+
+:proxy.balance:
+  might be one of 'hash', 'round-robin' or 'fair' (default).
+
+  'round-robin' choses another host for each request, 'hash'
+  is generating a hash over the request-uri and makes sure
+  that the same request URI is sent to always the same host.
+  That can increase the performance of the backend servers
+  a lot due to higher cache-locality. 'fair' is the normal
+  load-based, passive balancing.
+
+:proxy.server:
+  tell the module where to send Proxy requests to. Every
+  file-extension can have its own handler. Load-Balancing is
+  done by specifying multiple handles for the same extension.
+
+  structure of proxy.server section: ::
+
+    ( <extension> =>
+      (
+        ( "host" => <string> ,
+          "port" => <integer> ),
+        ( "host" => <string> ,
+          "port" => <integer> )
+      ),
+      <extension> => ...
+    )
+
+  :<extension>: is the file-extension or prefix (if started with "/")
+                might empty to match all requests
+  :"host":      is ip of the proxy server
+  :"port":      is tcp-port on the "host" used by the proxy
+                server (default: 80)
+
+  e.g.: ::
+
+    proxy.server = ( ".jsp" =>
+  		       ( (
+		           "host" => "10.0.0.242",
+		           "port" => 81
+		         ) )
+		     )
+
+Example:
+========
+
+Using lighttpd + mod_proxy in front of 8 Squids which handle the
+caching of dynamic content for you. All requests for the host
+www.example.org should be forwarded to the proxy. All proxies
+listen on port 80 for requests. ::
+
+  $HTTP["host"] == "www.example.org" {
+    proxy.balance = "hash"
+    proxy.server  = ( "" => ( ( "host" => "10.0.0.10" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.11" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.12" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.13" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.14" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.15" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.16" ),
+                              ( "host" => "10.0.0.17" ) ) )
+  }
+
+If one of the hosts goes down the all requests for this one server are
+moved equally to the other servers. If you want to know more about
+the algorithm used here google for 'Microsoft CARP'.
