          Issue ID: 9599
           Summary: Additional balancing strategies for lloadd
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: lloadd
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

At the moment, lloadd picks a backend on a round-robin basis, taking the first
one that can deal with the request. This has several disadvantages:
- there is no way to implement a failover set up where certain (e.g. local)
servers should be contacted as a priority
- all balancing is implicit on the limits imposed on servers - a
connection/server is a candidate until we've reached those limits

Allowing a priority and/or a different strategy to be set should address these.
