Hi Willy, thank you for your answer and your hint concerning check and track.
By the way: When will 1.6.x be out? ;-) Best regards Andreas Mock -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Willy Tarreau [mailto:w...@1wt.eu] Gesendet: Dienstag, 10.

A server is specific to the backend it's declared in. So there is no relation between BE1/S1 and BE2/S1 even if they share the same settings. If you want to avoid sending health checks twice, you can have one do the checks and the other track the first one (please check for "track" and "check" in the config manual). Regards, Willy
