Probably the better way of handling this is to have some sort of
retry time to check the servers again at the end of indexing and see
if they've recovered. In multi-server setups, this is often not
needed since indexing moves from server to server in round-robin
fashion and they tend not to "melt."
Of course if someone's willing to do some sleuthing with netstat and
ilk, the connections may not be closing properly, leaving too many
unfinished queries on Apache. (This was certainly the case with older
versions and while 3.1.5 should be better about this, we can't test
every server config.)

It can't completely ignore the server--it will try the local
filesystem first for obvious MIME types. It will resort to HTTP when
needed, unless the local_urls_only attribute is set:
