+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>This module provides for dynamic health checking of balancer
+ members (workers). This can be enabled on a worker-by-worker
+ basis. The health check is done independently of the
+ actual reverse proxy requests.</p>
+
+ <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code>.</p>
+
+<div class="note"><h3>Parameters</h3>
+ <p>The health check mechanism is enabled via the use of additional
+ BalancerMember parameters, which are configured in the standard
+ way via <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>:</p>
