addition to last post:

i just read the source of that health checking module mentioned before…  
looks to me like it should be easy to add a kind of load measurement to  
it  
(instead of just checking whether its up or down)?

id really love to contribute but i believe my c-programming skills are  
too  
poor for that 😉

greetings

p.s. by the way: thanks x1000 to all nginx devs/contributors for  
creating  
such a great piece of software!
