Comment(by perbu):

 This will be a problem for those who do a lot of vcl changes. Having 20
 configs hammer at your server once a second (not unlikely) will tax your
 server heavily.

 Proposed architectural changes:

 - VCL autodiscard.
 - coalescing of health checks.
 - use initial state when switching config.

 I propose we use the last one - since it adheres to the principle of least
 surprise, at least for me.


 Per.
