Add the new RewriteMap types `rnd' and `int' to mod_rewrite to allow Apache to
be used as a Reverse Proxy (where the backend servers are choosen via a `rnd' map) and to allow mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections (where you have to fix the case of server names when translating the Host-Header to a directory structure). Together with the comitted ProxyPassReverse directive we now have solved two things the users have asked in the past: 1. The ability to use Apache as a full-featured Reverse Proxy 2. The ability to do mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections. For both topics we should write stand-alone documents (perhaps inside htdocs/manual/misc/) because they are not trivial to do, even when we now have the functionality ;-) Submitted by: Ralf S.
