A method may include receiving a number of calls and identifying destinations associated with the calls, where a first portion of the calls are associated with a first destination. The method may also include determining whether failure responses associated with calls forwarded toward the first destination indicate a problem or a possible problem associated with forwarding calls toward the first destination. The method may further include blocking, when the failure responses indicate a problem or a possible problem, at least some of the first portion of calls from being forwarded toward the first destination.
