Indeed, your suggestion solves most of the cases where I encounter the switch-over of the backend hosts. However, this does *not* help in all cases, as this works only if the backend is no more reachable and thus an error condition occurs. Sometimes I just want to switch from one backend to the other without shutting any of them. A working TTL in the connection pool or in the DNS cache would be ideal for this. Perhaps I have to open a new Bug report in Bugzilla.
