Hello Ovidiu,
i did not reviewed the code yet, but some people also like to run their
balancers without a database to avoid this additional complexity.
Yes, from what I have seen having load balancers without database is common.
Right now we could probably use db_text module for such setups.
In the future having a driver for Sqlite or berkeleydb would be a better
option. Both Sqlite and Berkeley DB databases appear to be reasonably fast for
such setups and they require no special or complicated setup.
