More precisely, I plan to query our mailservers for a variable 
(snmp prefered) which influences the weight of the NLB-device. 

(I don't want any NLB methods/algorithms which portion the packets
 because of any knowledge they gained because of numbers of connections
 or reaction times of the listening socket. I need direct feedback
 from the server.)
