Hello,

sorry for newbie question but is it possible to turn off backend checking?
We are using pound for decreasing number of apache processes (you know, with
mod_python every process has new connection to database etc.). So there is
always one pound before one apache backend. And if we restart apache we get
error 503 for a while.

You can't turn off the checks: Pound has to do something if a connect() fails. 
What you probably want is to lower the Alive value so that Pound notices 
earlier that your Apache is back.[...]
