+| Reversed            | Reverse connection | no |
+| Flushpackets        | Enables/disables packet flushing (values: on/off/auto) | off |
+| Flushwait           | Time to wait before flushing packets in milliseconds. A value of -1 means wait forever | PROXY_FLUSH_WAIT |
+| Ping                | Time (in seconds) in which to wait for a pong answer to a ping | 10 seconds |
+| Smax                | Soft maximum idle connection count (that is the smax in worker mod_proxy documentation). The maximum value depends on the httpd thread configuration (ThreadsPerChild or 1) | -1 |
+| Ttl                 | Time to live (in seconds) for idle connections above smax (in seconds) | 60 seconds |
+| Timeout             | Timeout (in seconds) for proxy connections to a node. That is the time mod_cluster will wait for the back-end response before returning error. That corresponds to timeout in the worker mod_proxy documentation. A value of -1 indicates no timeout. Note that mod_cluster always uses a cping/cpong before forwarding a request and the connectiontimeout value used by mod_cluster is the ping value | 0 |
+| StickySession       | Indicates whether subsequent requests for a given session should be routed to the same node, if possible | yes |
+| StickySessionCookie | Value of the Session cookie  | JSESSIONID |
+| StickySessionPath   | Value of the Session path    | jsessionid |
+| StickySessionRemove | Indicates whether the httpd proxy should remove session stickiness in the event that the balancer is unable to route a request to the node to which it is stuck. Ignored if stickySession is false | no |
+| StickySessionForce  | Indicates whether the httpd proxy should return an error in the event that the balancer is unable to route a request to the node to which it is stuck. Ignored if stickySession is false           | yes |
+| WaitWorker          | Number of seconds to wait for a worker to become available to handle a request. When no workers of a balancer are usable, mod_cluster will retry after a while (workerTimeout/100). That is timeout in the balancer mod_proxy documentation. A value of -1 indicates that the httpd will not wait for a worker to be available and will return an error if none is available (in seconds) | 0 |
+| MaxAttempts         | Maximum number of failover attempts before giving up. The minimum value is 0, i.e. no failover. The default value is 1, i.e. do a one failover attempt | 1 |
