Several remarks here:

- Pound never used round-robin. It still does not.

- Connection counting is not a very useful metric. The same back-end may
be used in several contexts (perhaps even with different addresses or
ports), so the number of connections is not very informative.

- you may want to look at the DynScale code - it probably does some of
what you need.

...and at a later date you add one file by accident to that directory
and nothing works any longer. Besides, think of the next sysadmin, who
will need to work with your installation.

I would also question the use case for it: do you really need hundreds
of files included? If it is just a handful it is not so difficult to
include them explicitly.
