If you turn the servers off, then everything fails. The user sits there bewildered and calls his/her ISP to report the Internet is down. If HTTP was pointed to a server that had a page that said what the problem is and what to do, it would be a lot better. Any tech support these users call can diagnose the problem in a few seconds.
