Then a condition must occur where host A fails right after processing the
request, they usually fail before accepting a request, it also depends on
the timeout for a request. And it also depends what nginx considers a fail,
nginx might not fail a host when it does not return from accepting a
request.

You will have to simulate this to find out the conditions for a fail.
