We're always up for new ideas and a new useful scheduler would be
welcome. Currently failover is handled by removing the realserver
from the virtual service table - this is independant of the scheduler
used. Is the advantage of your scheduler that it handles realserver
failover better? What is the point of using the source IP? There
is already an -sh scheduler, which looks at the source IP. This
is for multi-gateway directors
