You might be able to get more information about why the health-checks are failing by adding setVerboseHealthChecks(true) to your configuration.
It usually happens because the backend is overwhelmed and needs to be tuned to handle the load, but it might also be caused by a network issue, like a link reaching its maximum capacity, or by dnsdist itself being overwhelmed and needing tuning (like increasing the number of newServer() directives, see [1]).
