It also strikes me that it might be interesting to model least connections with two or three LBs with and without such shared state.
My instinct is that you'd still get most of the advantages even with each LB keeping its own independent connection counts, but given the number of times I've fired up a profiler and gone "wait, seriously, -that-s the slow part?!" I'd suggest nobody believes me and measures it instead.
