Some would make a diference between load-balancing and round-robin. The currently available round-robin selector switches paths based on a fix number of requests that have been sent to one path. Quite some time ago I posted a load-level path selector that tries to select a path also based on the number of requests that are still being processed. Unfortunately this also required some changes to the main code and Alasdair hasn't much time to integrate new features.
