I am actively working on it.
I will try to not require an additional agent on the clients though but to use
SNMP instead and also use the timings/values gathered during verifying that
the systems are still up and running.
It is not very hard, since it is mainly a userlevel task to compute a useful
metric which does adequately distribute the load. We'll probably need multiple
algorithms to fit the real world.

No. Thats actually required functionality for the dynamic loadbalancing. I
hope someone adds a "-m" command to ipvsadm to modify the weights, since I
don't feel qualified to hack the kernel source ;-)
