Clarify some mod_proxy concepts in the docs
I have recently got some basic mod-proxy concepts
and these simple info would have helped me a lot:
- connection pooling == reuse. My brain did not pick
up this simple nomenclature at first read for some
reason, probably because we have parameters called
"*reuse*" and not "*pooling*". I find the term
"reuse" clearer than "pooling", but this is
debatable :)
- the concept of "Worker" needs to be read before
the ProxyPass section (that people probably read
directly after checking a search engine) to fully
understand its power.
- the fact that a worker is related to a single process
(and not shared as a Balancer) is a really important
concept that I tried to highlight when talking
about maxconns (question popped up a lot of times
from users).
Hope that my understanding is correct, feedback is welcome.
