[Users] Dispatcher module - Does it actually work?

[Douglas Garstang]

Thanks Andy. I'll take a look. Considering I can't even find documentation for what a route() block is, I'm in for a lot of reading. *sigh* Docs.... docs.... docs....  (or lack thereof)

I took a look at the module docs, they're way beyond my current understanding. it. I'll have to do some reading. Does it allow you to try another route when one is not responding?
	
	Yes. You have to define a set of destinations which you can load in the
	script using load_gws(), and every call to next_gw() sets the ip/port of
	another destination as ruri, until no more destinations are available.
	
	You can find an example here:
	
	        http://linguin.org/ser/lcr_cap/lcr_config_example.txt
	
	It's for a lcr-version which I have extended a little to be able to
	group destinations according to their capabilities
	(http://linguin.org/ser.php#lcr-cap), but you should at least get the
	idea on how to do it with the vanilla lcr module (just leave out the
	argument in load_gws()).
