I should say "an actual redirect response code could confuse a browser".

I think that for accuracy's sake it should probably be a 500 error (I assume that 503 is a server busy error or something; don't know it off the top of my head). An actual redirect error could confuse a browser.

I'd assume that for optimal performance you'd want to redirect to another machine, but there's nothing enforcing this. If you're using Apache or IIS as a localhost front-end, you could redirect to a URI that's being served by the web server. This is likely to be a low-cost operation.

Just out of curiosity, do you think it would help in those situations to
issue a 503 instead of a 307?  Or do you redirect to another machine for
the busy page?
