Even if you could persuade an HAP config to do this, I personally wouldn't. In conjunction with HAP for the load-balancing, I'd use something where the purpose is even just /slightly/ closer to the daemon's intended/common use. Like nginx (http://ls4.sourceforge.net/doc/howto/ddt.html) or Varnish (http://highscalability.com/blog/2012/9/12/using-varnish-for-paywalls-moving-logic-to-the-edge.html). Keep HAP for what it's awesome at - routing requests based on backend *health*, not backed *logic*.
