isapi_redirect.dll does not handle Tomcat down case gracefully

           Summary: isapi_redirect.dll does not handle Tomcat down case
                    gracefully
           Product: Tomcat 3
           Version: 3.2.3 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connectors
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: katkere@praja.com


When Tomcat is down, if we attempt to a resource handled the Tomcat through IIS 
and isapi_redirect, the line is simply dropped (i.e., socket disconnect, no 
valid HTTP response) instead of returning something like 500 error. Apache 
mod_jk, on the other hand, returns a "500" internal error, which can be used to 
show a "server down" page.

This is on Windows 2000 advanced server with IIS 5.0, isapi_redirect.dll binary 
from Tomcat 3.2.3 distribution.
