Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of load balancers; and
one or more back-end processes coupled to the load balancers, wherein individual ones of the one or more back-end processes are configured to:
receive, over a connection, a health check ping from one of the load balancers;
evaluate a system resource capacity of the back-end process;
determine, based on said evaluate, whether to simulate unavailability of the back-end process, wherein simulate unavailability comprises transmitting a negative response to a health check ping when the back-end process is available;
for a determination to simulate unavailability, transmit a negative response to the health check ping to simulate unavailability of the back-end process when the back-end process is available; and
for a determination to remain available, transmit, over the connection, a positive response to the load balancer in response to the health check ping.
