Fair Proxy Balancer

[Rt Ibmer]

Thanks. Perhaps my needs are unique, but from my perspective what matters is how fast my upstreams are completing requests.  So for instance, if nginx is able to make a connection to upstream x and get a completed response back from it in 5ms, yet upstreams y and z take about 10ms, then I would want it to weight upstream x to get more requests.  That seems to be the bottom line for what should matter.  Unfortunately I am not grasping how your fair module's weighting works if not based on the overall time to serve a request.  In my case I will never be running at full capacity.  If there is an internal network issue that affects the connection/transmit time from nginx to a particular upstream, then I'd like that upstream to be penalized and get let traffic until the condition improves and it "proves itself" equally fast again.  Hope this makes sense...?
