All:

I am trying to get a clear understanding of where or if Global Load Balancing 
as a Service fits within the OpenStack ecosystem.  I have included a list of 
basic use cases that I think a Global Load Balancing service should provide:
        • Route traffic (HTTP/FTP/Database/etc...) across multiple data centers 
without having a single point of failure (i.e. LBaaS Virtual IP address)
        • Monitor health of defined endpoints (load balancers or servers) with 
protocol-specific health checks
        • Route traffic to another data center in the event of a health check 
failure
        • Route traffic based on a requestor’s geographical location (GeoIP)
        • Route traffic based on latency between requestor and defined endpoints

Please let me know if you have any opinions/recommendations on this matter or 
are interested in solving this problem.

Kind regards,

Tom Creighton
