Greetings,

I have a quick question for you today: what is the relationship between modules and load balancers? Does it have to be 1:1?

I will give an example to make things easier to understand.

Let's say I have a base load balancer class fooLB, which I use to derive two other load balancers: fooLB1 and fooLB2.

Could I write them all in the same fooLB.{h,C,ci}, use -module fooLB when compiling my application, and call +balancer {fooLB1, fooLB2} when executing it, or do I have to write them in different files, pass all modules when compiling (-module fooLB -module fooLB1 -module fooLB2), and then call the load balancer that I want?

Best regards,
