I am wondering how can I issue a HTTP Status code, that will cause crawlers to try later for that content, as the system currently is running on high load.
Does a 304 status and no content display resolves this issue?

You should issue a
503(Service Unavailable) with theRetry-Lateroption set. This seems to be an accurate solution.See: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html and http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
