[Seaside] ProxyPass and the P Option

[Boris Popov]

Except you still need ProxyPass to actually proxy, but instead of
proxying a specific host, you will proxy the cluster as you defined it,

ProxyPass / balancer://hotcluster/
<Proxy balancer://hotcluster>
 BalancerMember http://1.2.3.4:8009 loadfactor=1
 BalancerMember http://1.2.3.5:8009 loadfactor=2
 ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
</Proxy>

I recall playing with this a little while ago and it seemed to be
doable, rewrites had nothing to do with it.

Cheers!
