The LOCK and UNLOCK requests would get sent to the master - but lock
discovery would fail as the slaves wouldn't know about the locks.
Hence, the user would need to issue a force unlock to break it.
Locking would still work - it just would never get reported properly
as having a lock held via the APIs.

Nope. We have to make the decision based on the request lines and
headers - once we start reading the body, it is too late to make a
decision to proxy the request. -- justin
