That's not what I meant. ".pgfailback" controls what happens if a once
lost path comes back online. ".pgpolicy" controls how the load is
distributed over healthy paths. The default .pgpolicy = failover means
that you'll only ever have one "running" path at any time (iow, no load
balancing). I asked you to confirm that that's what you need.
