The result of the last attempt is returned to the client as is, 
and it is not considered to be a failure regardless of other 
settings.  In the edge case when there is only one server, 
requests are simply passed to the server.

If there is more than one server, and all servers fail, the first 
request will disable all servers but the last one (assuming 
default max_fails=1), and the second request will disable the last 
server.
