NimbostratusHi,
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, do you want to pass this information (IP/Port of the selected pool member) to
(1) the server which is serving the content? or
(2) the Client which is requesting the content?
in 1. doesn't really make sense, server should know on which port it is serving the content
