My original version of this module (long-poll with a single backend, dynamically determined based on the incoming request), does something very similar to what you're doing. For the incoming request, it figures out the appropriate backend then configures the request's upstream and kicks off the proxying. For the multi-backend version, I'll likely need to do something similar to what you've done (i.e. creating requests completely separate from the actual, live request). I figure the trickiest part will be building those requests and getting them in to state that's usable by nginx.

I haven't entirely given up on the subrequests yet, though.

Thanks,
Shaun
