Carlos,

The general objection is that if we don't need multiple VIPs (different ip,
not just tcp ports) per single logical loadbalancer, then we don't need
loadbalancer because everything else is addressed by VIP playing a role of
loadbalancer.
Regarding conclusions - I think we've heard enough negative opinions on the
idea of 'container' to at least postpone this discussion to the point when
we'll get some important use cases that could not be addressed by 'VIP as
loadbalancer'

Eugene.
