Correct. weight = 0 means that no further connections will be assigned to the
machine, but current ones remain established. This allows to smoothly take a
real server out of service, ie for maintenance.
Removing the server hard cuts all active connections. This is the correct
response to a monitoring failure, so that clients receive immediate notice
that the server they are connected to died so they can reconnect.
