I'm using the nginx as a reverse proxy server, with the upstream module, successfully doing round-robin load balancing between two backend servers. Is there some way I can determine if one of the back end servers has gone down? Nginx will seamlessly take it out of pool if it does go down, which is great, but it would be handy to know about it so some alert could be sent to the admin.
