Yeah, persistent virtual services may lead to the load imbalance among
servers.

Using some weight adapation approaches may help avoid that some
servers are overloaded for a long time. When the server is overloaded,
decrease its weight so that connections from new clients won't be sent
to that server. When the server is underloaded, increase its weight.

No, it is not feasible, because directly modifying masq entries will
cause the established connection broken.
