Minecraft Load Balancing - Health Check

Hello!

I'm not 100% sure if I am in the right place but hopefully the community is able to help me with this.
Let's say i'm starting a Minecraft hosting service, and there are many many minecraft servers running within docker with a PORT.

When a server is offline and a player is to ping it instead of it showing offline I want to replace it with a custom placeholder, such as "This server is hosted by {name}", but when the server starts backup it stops.

I'm not sure where I am going with this but can i use traefik or is there an easier solution to do this?

I would assume that a Minecraft server has a special protocol and that you can’t just respond with a HTML page? What do you mean by ping, it’s probably not the ICMP ping.
