   With the current architecture of openwhisk, the load balancers push activations to invokers without state knowledge of what's going on in each invoker. So I'm not sure based on that if this can be implemented without each load balancer stepping on the toes of one another if you're defining what load balancer to use at the action level. You would need to split up invoker pools to separate different load balancers affecting each other or share state between all load balancers.
   
   I'm curious what changes you're working on. We've had similar desire to improve the load balancer, but with the forthcoming re-architecture of activation scheduling that's in progress; we've put off doing any improvements to the load balancer using the push model waiting for the new pull based model. I guess we can discuss this in the issue
