Hi,

Right, sorry, I see that wasn't clear - I blame lack of coffee :)

I would prefer the "Revised New Model".  I much prefer the ability to 
restore a loadbalancer from config in the event of node failure, and the 
ability to do basic sharing of certificates between VIPs.

I think that a longer term plan may involve putting the certificates in 
a smarter system if we decide we want to do things like evaluate trust 
models, but just storing them locally for now will do most of what I 
think people want to do with SSL termination.

Cheers,
