Description

when using kubernetes you can use Kubernetes Services to do the load balancing across endpoints
http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/docs/user-guide/services.html#services-in-kubernetes

sometimes folks want to do the discovery and load balancing on the client side.

We've added a plugin to Ribbon to do this in the kubeflix project:
https://github.com/fabric8io/kubeflix

e.g. here https://github.com/fabric8io/kubeflix/blob/master/ribbon-discovery/src/main/java/io/fabric8/kubeflix/ribbon/KubernetesServerList.java#L66-L87

it might be nice to add something like that for Camel LoadBalancers for folks using Camel on Kubernetes who wish to use client side discovery and load balancing
