Hi

Is it possible to change server weight or take them offline  
without modifying the config and reload?

We want to change server weight from a script that monitor backend load  
average, is it possible?

p.s. something like Feedbackd for LVS.

No, it can’t. if you want to make them offline without reload, you could  
use my upstream check module:
