A company runs a web application behind an NGINX load balancer with a pool of three backend servers. The servers are configured with the default round robin algorithm and no health checks. One of the servers becomes unresponsive and starts dropping connections. What will happen to client requests?

Requests will be automatically rerouted to the healthy servers.

Approximately one-third of requests will fail with a 502 Bad Gateway error.

All requests will be queued until the server recovers.

All requests will fail with a 502 Bad Gateway error.
