Hello, everyone,Mike suggested throwing this out for discussion.  For history, 
you can read the JIRA GUACAMOLE-102 issue and see the back-and-forth there, but 
essentially we could use some input deciding what the scope of issue 102 should 
be.  A recent PR added a connection_weight field in the JDBC module that allows 
connections within groups to be weighted, and, thus, a Weighted Least 
Connection load balancing algorithm is now implemented (in place of the 
previous Least Connection method).
The question is, should the implementation of this weighting field close issue 
102, or do we need to get closer to implementing a full-blown load balancer 
that, not only allows for weighting, but also provides a mechanism for 
calculating the weight based some calculation of available/used/total resources 
on a given system?  I pinged on the JIRA issue for feedback from Werner, but 
have not received anything, so opening it up here for other opinions.  My 
personal take is that the original request was asking for the full-blown 
solution, that not only provides the weighted balancing (implemented) but also 
polls the hosts for their resource utilization/availability.  The alternative 
is to close 102 and open a new JIRA Issue that deals specifically with the 
collection of data from the individual hosts in a connection group.
Any thoughts, preferences, opinions...?
