Best way to handle fallback when an origin server becomes unresponsive?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a setup where Mlytics is sitting in front of multiple origin servers. Everything is running smoothly most of the time, but I’m trying to figure out the cleanest way to handle a situation where one of the origins suddenly becomes unresponsive.

Is there a built-in method in Mlytics to automatically detect this and switch traffic to a healthy origin without much delay?

If yes, what’s the typical failover time in practice?

And if not, would you recommend handling this logic at the Mlytics layer or should I implement something custom on the application side?

I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has dealt with this scenario before. Thanks in advance!
