Be able to mark an upstream host as 'down' for a definable period of time.

If a host is not available / not reachable then is should be possible to mark it as down and temporarily remove it from a distribution group.

This will solve the round robbin issue when services go down. I currently have a manual workaround :

 if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.ServiceUnavailable)
                         {
                             var _next = roundRobin.Next();

                             while (_next.Host == host.Host)
                             {
                                 _next = roundRobin.Next();
                             }
                             response = await context
                                 .ForwardTo(_next)
                                 .AddXForwardedHeaders()
                                 .Send();
                         }

and I still need to check the response to see if I need to move to the next one.

In light of #230, I won't be adding first class support for this now.
