Rules based load balancer? Seems to me like this could need a load balancer of its own. Have you stress tested it? I'm not saying it can't be useful as a smart (policy based) redirector, but as a thin large scale load balancer the Servlet lifecycle may be a little heavier than necessary. Can you give an example in which this serves as a better "load balancer" than other alternatives?
