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.
