that's what I thought of too, and you can do that with any proxy  
( though i prefer nginx )

i'd be deathly scared of running a loadbalancer that automagically  
handled slow/fast requests the way you expect.  the configuration  
would be a nightmare, and it would be doing so much logging and  
profiling of request timings, it might negate the purpose of a load  
balancer to begin with.
