Hello – our upcoming app is designed with long-running services, and in the event that a machine needs to halt, we need a way to hint to the “dynamic request router” / load balancer that we don’t want to accept new traffic on that instance without actually closing existing sockets. Is there a good way to do that, or should we just stop accepting new connections?
Not exactly the same thing, but perhaps reply to all new connections with Fly-Replay elsewhere=true?
@kenkeiter I think fly machine cordon stops the proxy accepting new connections but should leave existing ones alone.
Probably the best “hint” you can give the proxy

Oh, that is awesome. And it can be accessed via the API, as well. This is exactly what I was looking for! 
Thank you for your help.
