A 404 is no error regarding balancing and a proper HTTP response

You need to send back a HTTP_INTERNAL_ERROR or a
HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE in this
case but without any error page.
Maybe I should describe our position more deeply.
Imagine one have 1000 workers and something breaks in one of them.
This broken worker somethimes returns BLA_BLA_HTTP_ERROR.
Yes, ideally this worker should be found and it should be fixed, but
it does not mean that user should see BLA_BLA_HTTP_ERROR, when there
are 999 workers in good shape.
How is the balancer supposed to know that one valid HTTP response
is an error while another is correct? A 404 or other error response
doesn't mean there's a problem with the server!
