Ability to switch to a least-connection DNS balancer

Hello all!

Is there any feature planned to give the user control by config of which dns balancer should be used by Kong? I understand that right now the solution is based on lua-resty-dns-client’s ring balancer, would that be simple to just switch to the least-connection balancer (available since version 3.0.0, so should be on Kong 1.1.0)?

Thank you!

Ha! Searched through all feature suggestions, forgot to search for related PRs. Thanks @Tieske, I’ll follow up in there.

@Daniel_Liberman since the pr was merged in next. You could give it a try now. I’d be interested in the results.

Thank you @Tieske! We’ll try that and let you know when we get some results.
