This is somewhere in TODO, and likely will be implemented soon.
As usual, the most serious problem is a name for the directive
(proxy_next_tries?). :)

Additional similar proposal discussed here includes limiting total
time spent in retries before giving up (proxy_next_time?). This
will allow to try many servers as soon as they, e.g., return RST
quickly, but to only try one or two servers if they fail to answer
in configured proxy_connect_timeout/proxy_read_timeout.
