Hmm, I see. But I would not agree that under load this would necessairly turn
ERR or OK quickly. I am also generating heavy load, just there are no
clients / sessions arriving. This could happend in real screnario too.

Yes, that's true, all of my clients are initialized at the beginning of the
test and corresponding sessions are created.

Still, I it is not clear to me, why I am getting 503 exceptions. I believe
that when there is one or more servers up and ready to serve request, this
should not happend. Why the requests are not immidiatelly rerouted to second
node, which is couple of minutes up and running (in ERR/REC state) ?
Thanks,
Dominik
