I'd also love to see support for draining - and it seems like we might be in luck in the near future: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=61278&

  Draining is easy. Your health check should be hitting a url like '/ping' anyway which responds with an OK if the box is in a reasonable state and willing to serve traffic. I always add an additional check to see if a file called /tmp/down exists, and if it does, return a 500 for the health checks. Existing clients will continue to be served but that instance will get no new connections.
