No idea.  It'll depend on the load balancer you're using.  For the one
we use, you just set the weight (we use a weighted scheduler) of the
member to zero, without removing it from the cluster.  It'll keep
serving the sessions it already has until it's actually removed, but
with a weight of zero, it won't be assigned any new ones.  Once the
session count is down, we actually remove it from the cluster so that
it's impossible to access, do our stuff, and then add it back into the
cluster with it's normal weighting.

We have a variety of server hardware in our cluster since we've
continued to expand it over several years.  The beefier machines have
a higher weight so they get more requests than the less powerful
machines.
