I find it hard to decide between your case (we know the nodes are not available and we don't need a reminder every minute, instead we want to see the "real" errors), and the most common case (we didn't see the single initial message a few days ago and so we didn't realize our nodes were partially down for a long time). So let me first ask: why don't you "stop" the nodes, you know are out of service? If you let the balancer know, what your admins know about the state of the system, the balancer will no longer throw errors.
