Subject: Rephrasing " worker already used"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The message "worker ... already used by another worker" seems to not say 
what's actually happening.

Situation:

ProxyPass /X http://a.b.c.d/A
ProxyPass /Y http://a.b.c.d/AB

Wouldn't a message

worker "http://a.b.c.d/A" will also be used for URL "/Y"

be more correct?

In addition: we do overwrite the worker config (additional attributes) 
when parsing the second ProxyPass. Should we add a message

Merging configuration for worker "http://a.b.c.d/A"

Finally: I guess we need to document the behaviour, especially that you 
have the option to reuse/overwrite or use separate workers, depending on 
the order of the ProxyPass statements.

Any opinion?

Regards,

Rainer
