Hi, Yes....adding thresholds support in ldirectord seems like a good ideea anyway... But perhaps there would be benefit in merging my proposed OVF scheduler with the existing FO, in essence they do the same thing but matching the number of active connections supported by the node with the node's weight whilst still keeping thresholds for the total number of connections might give a bit more flexibility.
