One of our class attendees this week had an interesting suggesting for a balancer-manager feature. Right now each member is a 2-state, either enabled or disabled.
For session stickiness, he suggested a tristate third option to bleed out the remaining sessions, dispatching no /new/ sessions into the particular member. This would let the existing sessions drain and complete, in order to take down a member without disrupting any logins. Of course my plate is entirely full for several months, so I'm just tossing it out to balancer fans to see if anyone shares his itch. Bill
