Are there any plans to support load balancing of a Proxy farm in future versions? If so, what version (and date) do you think we can expect it to be made available?

I am curious on this as well. However, given the nature of ZABBIX Proxies, wouldn't an option to have a secondary server to send data to if the primary is non-responsive serve the same purpose?
Is this a feature currently available or planned for the future? -
Multiple Servers defined in zabbix_agentd.conf?

Great question. In addition, what is the expected behavior of an agent configured with a *list* of proxies to report to?
For example, in zabbix_agentd.conf:
Server=10.0.2.1,10.0.2.2,10.0.2.3
If the proxy listed first is unavailable, will it know (and safely use) the secondary proxy listed as the server it should be reporting to?Comment

At the moment we do not have any specific plans for redundancy and load balancing on proxy side. However we are having some performance-related surprises for 1.8. Stay tuned!

Does this behavior apply to the agents as well? In other words, if the agent has more than 1 server listed in its config file, will it always use the first one listed and never use the others?

Hi
That's why we use a clustered setup with the virtual IP of the ZABBIX
cluster as the first IP address and the two real IP addresses of both
machines as the subsequent IP addresses in the Server= line
of the agent configuration file.
The same will work with Proxies, of course.Code:Server=ClusterIP,RealIP1,RealIP2
In the case of proxies you can use a cold-standby solution.
