I think that what you want can be achieved using connslots. Your frontend config would look approximately like this :

frontend internal_api_rails_farm 192.168.1.2:80

    mode http
    option forwardfor
    acl priority_full connslots(priority_rails_farm) eq 0     acl priority_down nbsrv(priority_rails_farm) lt 1     use_backend rails_farm if priority_full or priority_down     default_backend priority_rails_farm

You need 1.3.17 to use connslots though.
