I like this pattern of using a distributed configuration store like etcd for load balancers so you can have a single configuration for a set of frontends. It is also great to have HTTP servers focused on runtime reconfiguration via APIs. A similar project that I have found useful is called Vulcan: http://vulcand.io/

In fact, I'm using https://github.com/mailgun/oxy, the reverse proxy Engine made by Mailgun to build Vulcand :) Vulcand is awsome. But I wanted to build something simpler, that would work not only with etcd, but also with Docker, Mesos, Consul, etc.
