Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When using mod_proxy_balancer with lbmethod_bybusyness, the "busy" counter was not decreased when the worker tried to send a request to non-working node. Consequence: Once the non-working node became working again, mod_proxy_balancer did not recover the worker, because the "busy" counter still signalled the worker is busy. Fix: The "busy" counter is decreased after failed requests. Result: mod_proxy_balancer uses the worker after the node recovery.
