other algorithms?

Hello folks,

I just started learning about LVS, it seems quite impressive.

Question... are there plans for other balancing algorithms? One simple
scenario which goes beyond regular RR, Weighted RR and even Least
connections is if something happens to one real server which causes its
load to go up for whatever reason.

So say realserver1 has a small number of connections but something goes
wrong and it's under high load. It would be nice for that server to either
no longer get connections, or get a smaller percentage, because it's not
able to really handle requests due to a high load condition.

Are there any plans to provide an algorithm that takes that into
consideration (be it via "fastest response" or some other measuring
methodology) ?

Thanks
Ricardo
