May we quote you on that on the LVS site. One thing (to my mind) that LVS
is missing is testimonials. It would be really nice if when people say "Hey
is anyone actually using this, and what did they think" we could point them
to a URL with some people like youself talking (breifly) about their
experiences with using LVS in production.

Perhaps the algorithm should look at the difference between the
number of connections on a given server and the mean (or median)
if this is more than a certain ammount, or percentage then
it won't receive all the connections, just a weighed ammount.
That way it should slowly come up to speed. Just a thought :)
