I'm in favor of keeping this module as a db only module. Combining both init methods (param and db config) is messy due to the current module initialization (the shm mem is not available during the param parsing). For small/embedded systems db_text is always a viable alternative.
Hello Ovidiu,
i did not reviewed the code yet, but some people also like to run their balancers without a database to avoid this additional complexity.
Yes, from what I have seen having load balancers without database is common. Right now we could probably use db_text module for such setups.
In the future having a driver for Sqlite or berkeleydb would be a better option. Both Sqlite and Berkeley DB databases appear to be reasonably fast for such setups and they require no special or complicated setup.
