Declare the Balancer Worker


The trailing slash on the balancer URL (in this case "balancer://mycluster/") is important so that the URLs are properly resolved while being proxied. Note that without a training slash, if the "/example" is requested, the URL will become "balancer://myclusterexample". No such balancer exists, and the request will fail. With the trailing slash, it'd resolve as "balancer://mycluster/example", which will correctly locate the balancer.
