It's throttling, and violently so. The problem is, this isn’t load balancing of any form. It’s throttling, and violently so.

Like running a small cluster and directing requests to non-busy servers via a proxy of some sort like Nginx. Yes, but this is not load balancing, this is throttling:

Besides, iptables can't do load balance in a simple way, this is a great solution for people who can afford 1 dedicated server. (like this one but believe me I'd need at least 2 servers but running on one here) It's like you are saying you can get a high-powered turbo for your car but most people can't afford it and it's not a viable solution if you have to pay $2000/month.
