> There are some limitations in the current load balancer implementation. e.g. if we have 2 identical services in 2 different worker nodes, which are fronted by a synapse load balancer instance. In such a case, we need to provide 4 endpoints in the synapse.xml file. As can be seen, this is not a very scalable solution. Hence, I have implemented an dynamic load balancing mechanism where the application members are discovered at runtime, and the endpoint do not need to be statically specified in the synapse.xml file.
> Currently, the application endpoints are calculated by replacing the IP and port of the incoming request with that of the member to which this request will be forwarded to. I have only tested with HTTP/S for the moment. More details about the concept & design can be found here: http://afkham.org/2008/06/fault-resilient-dynamic-load-balancing.html
