there is a scenario that might require "no_response_fail = yes".

First, network breaks; power outage, spanking trees, something other but massive. Then clients start comming online, put some heavy load on backend server. Retry, retry, and - clients DoS backend. In that case I might want to send Access-Reject, to get some breathing space.

Or, set "max_outstanding" for the home servers. And set a "fallback" server in the "home_server_pool" section. That fallback server can reject the packets.

Ah, interesting, TY. OK then no_response_fail makes no sense any more. Regards...
