Hey Jerry, can you elaborate? To be clear what happens is: 1/ proxy receives requests 2/ proxy sends request to webserver 3/ webserver sends 502 response to proxy 4/ proxy forwards 502 response to the end user
I do have other webservers that I want to re-dispatch the request to - is that what you mean by backup servers? In any case, it seems like the proxy must be the one responsible for handling the failure.
