Multiple frontend dailinks may be connected to a backend dailink at the same time. When one of frontend dailinks is closed, the associated backend dailink should not be closed if it is connected to other active frontend dailinks. Change ensures that backend dailink is closed only after all connected frontend dailinks are closed.
