+1 for this Lakmal. We have put considerable amount of effort on implementing Stratos load balancer using Apache Synapse engine. However IMO Synapse is not designed to implement load balancers rather it is designed to implement mediation work flows. What we did was, we used its load balancing endpoint feature to implement a load balancer.
As a result in some scenarios we identified issues in handling sessions, managing headers, dynamically exposing HTTP/HTTPS listeners, etc. Regarding tenant aware load balancing I think we should be able to write extensions for each third party load balancer depending on the extendibility features they support.
