If there is an application server with poor >performance, it will be marked as failed and nginx will divert requests to your other 10/100/1000 servers.<br><br>No because we are dealing in tiny ms here that is still in the acceptable range. If upstreams x and y are serving requests in 3ms, but z is serving them in 50ms, I don't want z off line because that is still acceptable and better than having the box offline. However for maximum performance I'd rather 'fair' send requests only to x and y, occassinoally checking z to see if it comes back in line
with response times of x.<br></div></div></div><br>
