# Disable Forward Node

`POST /admin/forward-nodes/{node_id}/disable`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.xhostd.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.xhostd.com/admin/forward-nodes/{node_id}/disable`
- Auth: none declared

Drain the node: no NEW allocation lands on it.

Existing allocations keep resolving — draining is a two-step
operator flow (disable, then unexpose the stragglers), never a
silent mass disconnect.

## Path parameters

- `node_id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable

## Response `200`
