Load Balancing and High Availability

[toriacht]

Hi,

I am a nginx newbie. I have nginx configured as a reverse proxy/load
balancer in front of a small cluster of Jboss servers. I have configured as
per the tutorials on the web like this one ref:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-load-balancing
and all works fine with simple round robin load balancing.

My question is, if one of the backend Jboss servers goes down how do I stop
nginx from load balancing requests to the dead application server?

Thanks,
W
