The plan wasn't to do an SNMP query for each connection, but rather every couple of seconds, and once the CPU utilization hit a certain threshold it would bleed new/non persisted sessions over to the other proxy.

 

 

SNMP DCA will look at the stats, but it will only do for a dynamic ratio. It won't mark the node unavailable unless it doesn't respond in a timely manner to the SNMP request. I don't want a dynamic ratio load balance, only new connections to bleed over once the CPU gets to a certain point.
