In fact with non-determinism LB algorithms (ie: round robin), the algorithm
takes care of avoiding the previous server during a retry (if there's no
stickiness of course). That's not rocket science, it just tries to improve
the situation before the server is detected as down. But that must not be
used as an excuse for avoiding checks.

Cheers,
