I am using Amazon EC2 with nginx primarily for load balancing and proxying requests using proxy_pass. In this EC2 environment upstream servers can fail without warning.

It would be a fantastic edition to nginx to have it run a backend shell script when it detects that it needs to skip over an upstream server because it is not responding in accordance with proxy_next_upstream.

This sounds like a job for a heartbeat monitor, not a web server. What happens if you decide to restart the backend process on one of your upstream servers? Would you still want your script run?
