Hi Jeff!

Awesome! Glad we cleared that up :-) I get what you mean about the further
use-case, your wish to take an entire fleet of groups out of action with a
single click, not just one backend group at a time. Perhaps there needs to
be the ability to select frontends and action those frontend groups as a
group.

I'm glad to be of help for the patch :-) It's a tiny contribution and I
hope others might find it useful too :-)
