Well, it depends.
If you have locking threads for the application, then it’s quite possible for yourself to drive several localhosts upstream and do a retry on fail. Then, if one thread does not respond, then nginx will make several more requests (which someone can and will answer).
For full-time demons, who themselves know how to send requests to a live thread, this does not make sense, of course.
