Yes, we considered this option but it forces us to deploy and maintain 
another layer (LB+NG+AppServer). All cloud providers have round robin 
load balancers out-of-the-box but no one provides URI based load 
balancer. Moreover, in our scenario, our webservers layer is quite 
dynamic due to scaling up/down.

Best,
