 - spread load among several servers while assuring server persistence through the use of HTTP cookies
 - switch to backup servers in the event a main one fails
 - accept connections to special ports dedicated to service monitoring
 - stop accepting connections without breaking existing ones
 - add, modify, and delete HTTP headers in both directions
 - block requests matching particular patterns
 - persists clients to the correct application server depending on application cookies
 - report detailed status as HTML pages to authenticated users from a URI intercepted from the application Security issues fixed with this release:
