Hi guys.

When a backend starts sending http error 500 (internal server error) how does pound react?

Imagine a simple scenario with a LB balancing to two servers… one starts sending http error code 500 or similar because the webserver crashed… does it switch to the other backend? From what I have seen in the code it doesn’t, correct? It only allows showing some default web page… is it possible to change this behavior since what I think would be more interesting is having the LB switch to a working backend when this happens?

A backend is considered dead when? Only when Pound cannot connect to it?
