Need to apply least connected lb strategy. Does somebody developing this feature for fabio?

I'm not a fabio developer but I think this would be pretty hard to do because Fabio instances don't talk to each other. If Fabio itself is in a HA setup (which it should be) then there is no way to tell how many connections from each Fabio instance are active to a backend service. All each Fabio instance will have is a partial view of the number of connections.

@leprechau is this best to keep open for consideration, or close as won't fix?
