"The downside is that if the desired server is really down, the request
will eventually fail."

I wouldn't want this, the reason why I am using a load balancer is to have
high availability, not just to balance a load.

How can I overcome this?
Aren't there any alternatives?


Also what does it mean to be busy?
Currently I am using my pc to act as a load balancer in front of powerfull
servers and there is only one page request, how can it be busy?
