      The behavior of balancer is different on httpd in comparsion with Undertow implementation when max-attempts parameter is set.

      • Undertow: max-attempts is total count of requests made by balancer in failover scenario. When max-attemps is set to 1 and target worker fails after first attempt made by balancer, no further attempts are made.
      • httpd: max-attempts is count of retries made by balancer after first attempt fails. When max-attempts is set to 1 and target worker fails after first attempt made by balancer, second worker is chosen and request is sent towards it.

      This doesn't seem right and I suggest to unify behavior across implementations.
