What I really want is just, instead of the request being marked as failed when one of the home servers doesn't respond, for the proxy subsystem to just try sending the request to another configured home server. If the proxy has tried sending a request to every non-zombie home server in the list and still hasn't gotten anything, then it can mark the request as failed.
That's not really on, as zombie server is still considered alive. You can try this: instead of do_not_respond policy create a do_not_respond module (patch). It would do the same as the policy plus remove the request from the list once it fails. Then next NAS retransmit has a good chance of going to a non-zombie home server.
