Mohit if you add two new server,you need restart the service for changes to take effects, on this case, your problem don't exist, because all connections will be lose, and the new connections will be balanced on your 12 backend
Like a suggestion could be interesting create a poundctl addition for add/delete backends Regards! 2011/9/13 Mohit Gupta <[email protected]> > Hi All, > I am new to Pound.
