Yes.  There is no real difference between a network error and an 
HTTP error returned from idempotence point of view.  E.g., 502 
error just means that a network error happened somewhere else.

Just curious - which one?

Note well that if you want finer control of how various HTTP errors are 
handled, you can use proxy_intercept_errors with appropriate 
error_pages configured.  See http://nginx.org/r/proxy_intercept_errors.
