When a backend cannot answer a request, we can retry this request on another backend.

per default we should only retry requests without side-effects (only GET?)
we can define a back off policy. A good default can be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff#Binary_exponential_backoff_.2F_truncated_exponential_backoff
we can define the maximal number of retries
we can define the maximal period of time we can retry (time between request received and now)
