Going from the documentation, there doesn't appear to be functionality
for creating/destroying backends.
Personally, I have accomplished your task by creating a series of
scripts for maintaining the configuration file and reloading it while live.

Hi,
I am wondering if it possible to create an haproxy backend
programmatically, using the unix socket facility. I see that you can
enable and disable existing back-ends, but I want to add a new one. This
is my use case:
HTTP server starts on a host, binding to port 0
HTTP server announces itself to a load balancer, asking to be put into
the pool
Load balancer acknowledges HTTP server and starts sending it traffic
Thanks,
Ted
