> CDN toggle

Hmm, what would this do exactly?

I'm referring to Cloud CDN [1], which is per-backend setting that is disabled by default.

Unlike some other offerings (like AWS CloudFront), the CDN is transparent and built into the GLBC. Just by turning on the CDN, your load balancer automatically gets a globally distributed cache.

Oh, that's really neat! I didn't know Google's LB was directly integrated with their CDN like that.

A generic way to delegate to an arbitrary CDN might be nice too.
