Redirecting via client dispatcher

[Gerald Ternola]

Hi!,
    Can anyone help me explain this redirector behavior. I was testing a load 
balancing restlet web service basically it just redirect a request to the 
destination. 
    Example http://localhost:8183/webservice/resource1/test this will be 
redirected to any of the specified route destination in a round robin, example 
destination http://localhost:50011/test as expected.
    With our test case scenario of actual production issues that might occur, 
we stop on retlet web service of the destination let say 
http://localhost:50012. and we do the following
     First Request: http://localhost:8183/webservice/resource1/test --> 
redirected to http://localhost:50011/test -->it is successful
     Second Request: http://localhost:8183/webservice/resource1/test --> 
redirecting to http://localhost:50012/test --> but it is not showing or it like 
requesting indefinitely, no output is receive, until I stop the browser.
     
     "INFO: Redirecting via client dispatcher to: http://localhost:50012/test1"; 
--> last log
     
     Question does the VirtualHost have any means of detecting that the 
destination is not online, if can't determine it? how to solve this issue?
