Thanks for your suggestion.I tried it by removing a node from the loadbalancer's balance_workers,and then after several minutes,I found there also existed requests forward to the removed node.But this didnt happen when I restarted Apache manually.It seems that the status worker not rescans the file every 60 secs. Something wrong?Your reply would be very appreciated. PS:My testing environment is Windows xp sp2 + Apache 2.2.11.
