Correct way to terminate requests?

What is the correct ways to terminate requests?

* Request complete
* Network failure. Retry the request.
* Server failure. Retry the request on another server (if any).
* Request failure. Do not retry.

I now use the following methods:

Complete:
  fwdComplete
Network failure, server failure:
  fwdFail
  comm_close
Request failure:
  fwdState->flags.dont_retry = 1;
  fwdFail
  comm_close

The question is really when should comm_close be used, and when should
fwdComplete be used? There seems to be a difference in how the request
is retried.

Why doesn't fwdFail terminate the server request?
