You might like to look at keepalived which implements a sorry server.
Keepalived uses the LVS framework. http://www.keepalived.org

I suspect the clients scheduled for the sorry server never return back 
to the cluster, right (only if you use persistency of course)?

Yes, I've written a patch for the 2.4 kernel series extending IPVS to 
support the concept of an atomically switching sorry server environment.

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to port the work to 2.6 kernels yet

(the threshold stuff is already in but a bit broken and the sorry server

stuff needs some adjustments in the 2.6 kernel). If you run 2.4 on your 
LB, you could try out the patches posted to this list almost exactly one

year ago:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=113225142406014&w
=2

The fix to the kernel patch above:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=113802828120122&w
=2

And the 3/4 cut-off fix:

I personally believe that the sorry-server feature is a big missing 
piece of framework in IPVS, one that is implemented in all commercial HW

load balancers.

It is correct. I might sit down and do the 2.6 port but I'll be off-line

soon, so chances are little that I get to it before Christmas.

Best regards,
