Custom load balancer

Theoretically, you can also write a custom external monitor (EAV) script that does the database query to get the server load, do some number crunching to get some dynamic ratio, then use iControl's LocalLB::NodeAddress interface to set that dynamic ratio for the node address in question. This does not provide a way for your script to have its own LB algorithm, but at least it provides a way for your script to greatly influence how traffic is load-balanced.
