Title: LoadBalancer: Is there a plan to support bounded-load consistent hashing algorithm?

Description: Haproxy supports bounded-load consistent hashing algorithm. Just wondering if Onvoy has a plan to support the algorithm?

There are no current plans that I know of, but seems like a nice feature to add if someone wants to do it.
