IMHO opinion that is what disabled is designed for. But I admit this does
not work currently. We had a discussion a while ago here about the meaning
of the diferent worker stati with not an all too clear outcome from my point of
view.
I tend to say that
disabled means: Take requests if their routing information matches mine but
no other ones.
stopped means: Take no requests at all.
enabled means: Take all requests.
Of course above statements are subject to error checking, and lb strategies for
new requests.
Maybe others can give a comment. In order to get this working the following
steps are missing:
1. Make disabled workers accept requests if the routing information from the
client matches that of the disbaled worker.
2. Extend the manager application to put a worker into stopped / non stopped
state.

This will be fixed in 2.2.4
